Initiate SOPC Generate from TCL or Command Line

To build SOPC Builder projects from the command line you simply need to run the command "sopc_builder --generate" in the folder containing the .sopc and .sopcinfo files. These are the only files you need, except from any custom IP of cause, you need to generate the Nios SoC.

One thing you need to be aware of is that sopc_builder expect X to be present, so if you run it in a terminal on a Linux server you have to run something like Xvnc in order to make it work. If you use Jenkins to run you regression tests there is an option to enable X during builds, but otherwise you must ask the Internet Oracle aka Google for help.
