Hi,


I'm assuming you're assigning the value to the generic at a project-wide setting. There is no difference in writing those two tcl commands that way.


With set_parameter, you have the option to set your parameters at both project-wide or non project wide settings. Detailed information about set_parameter can be found here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/quartushelp/13.0/mergedProjects/tafs/tafs/tcl_pkg_project_ver_6.0_cmd_set_parameter.htm


As suggested by the command, the set_global_assignment can only be used for project-wide (global) assignments. Detailed information here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/quartushelp/13.0/mergedProjects/tafs/tafs/tcl_pkg_project_ver_1.0_cmd_set_global_assignment.htm
