Get available memory in an FPGA part using Tcl

How can I get the available memory (RAM, ROM, etc.) in an FPGA part using Tcl? report_part_info and get_part_info do not show this info.

Thanks

    When you mention available, do you mean a blank project or project with design included?

      What I am looking for is the total memory bits in a part, similar to what is reported when selecting a device in the Quartus gui (Assignmens -> Device...). I am not looking for resources usage, etc. tied to a specific project.

      Thanks

    what you can try is use command line to pull out a list of command line available.


    quartus_sh --qhelp


    If you cannot find the available tcl command there, which means it is not supported yet. We can help to request this feature for you, but you will need to let us know the motivation/reason on this needs.

    I don't know that such a command exists locally in Quartus, but you could probably script something that would look up the part number on the internet to get this info if this is your goal.
