Experienced Xilinx tool user needing Altera tool help

Hey Dave,

The Altera tools and Xilinx tools can both be scripted pretty easily with Tcl.

Have you used Vivado's unmanaged constraints files?

I've just started tinkering with the Xilinx tools ...

I've posted numerous Quartus examples to this group ..

Download them, follow the readme.txt instructions, and then look at the synth.tcl script that in turn runs constraints files.

You'll get the hang of it quick enough.

Cheers,

Dave
