Command line equivalent of Qsys->Export System as hw.tcl Component

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the expanded answer. However I get an error saying that save_script.tcl does not exist when I run the command.

That is the script you download from the Wiki page I linked to.

I created my own script that uses the export_hw_tcl command to write the hw.tcl file though.

So that I can help you, I'd like to compare the method you are using (Qsys Export to _hw.tcl) versus the Wiki script ... which version of Quartus are you using?

In the meantime, synthesize the DE0-nano SDRAM design and look at the qsys_system.tcl script. Once you have built that design, use the Qsys export as hw.tcl option and see if its the same (or at least similar).

Cheers,

Dave
