Hi amilcar,

1. Can you post the contents of your .cof file ?

Contents of .cof file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" standalone="yes"?>

<cof>

<eprom_name>EPCS64</eprom_name>

<flash_loader_device>EP4CE75</flash_loader_device>

<output_filename>Project_qout/FDC285M_GVI__20150210_090108.jic</output_filename>

2. Did you save the "generate_jic_programming_file.tcl" in the the same directory as the .cof and .qsf file ?

--- Quote End ---

Have saved it as jic_generator.tcl. The .tcl file is in the same directory as the .cof and .qsf files. However the .jic and .sof files are placed in another directory Project_qout as indicated by the .cof file.

3. Did you edit your .qsf file ?

--- Quote End ---

Yes I did.

set_global_assignment -name POST_MODULE_SCRIPT_FILE "quartus_sh:jic_generator.tcl"

This is the command I used in the .qsf file and in the TCL file has set a conditional epxression to analysis and synthesis step for testing purposes.

Tcl code :

set module [lindex $quartus(args) 0]

if [string match "quartus_map" $module] {# Generating .jic file based on .cof file

set cmd "quartus_cpf -c output_file.cof"

post_message "Generated .jic file with date and time"

# If the command can't be run, return an error.

if { [catch {open "|$cmd"} input] } {

return -code error $input

}

}

Note: Forgot to mention earlier but I am using Quartus II 64-bit version 13.1.2
