Get device blocks' location info by Tcl

Hi, all,

Now, I am trying to write my own placer. Some information of the device is needed. But I am not able to extract physical device resources information from Quartus by Tcl. What I need, I think, is the block type (LAB, Block RAM, or DSP etc.) of each coordinate (X, Y), whether or not it is taken by some cell. The function should be similar to "get_tiles" in Xilinx tool. Do you have any idea what command I should use in Quartus II? If it is impossible to do so, can I get that information from GUI or device datasheet?

Thanks.

    Not sure, but you can check the entire API by typing "quartus_sh --qhelp".
