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

Dave,

I am using Quartus 14.0. Sorry for being clueless about downloading the script from the wiki.

Your script produces similar results to the export_hw_tcl command. The main differences I can see so far are that the export_hw_tcl result does not have the save_system command at the end. Which I think makes sense as the desired goal is to produce a hw.tcl file which can create the system inside qsys. A further difference is that the export_hw_tcl result has everything except the module properties wrapped in a compose procedure. The export_hw_tcl result also has some set_interconnect_requirements at the end that your script is missing as well.

Is your script somehow related to the export_hw_tcl command? The comments are matching so either you are emulating the Altera script, or vice versa, or the scripts have some common pedigree. I am going to make a stab at modifying your script to produce results which are more similar to what I am seeing with export_hw_tcl in 14.0. That way I can be more confident that it produces what I need but also gives me better control over the result. I wanted to be able to set some module properties as well, so having a script will give me more control over that as well. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,

-Pete
