Honored ContributorVikas,
Thanks for responding. The link you referred to is the one I used initially to set up my build date idea. What is is missing is the command in the .qsf to get the synth_preflow.tcl running. This is specifically called out in the Quartus II handbook v 13.1 on page 3-10. It sez to put the set_global_assignment line in the projects .qsf, which I did. There are other links on the web for doing this and they all appear to have the same procedure, which I followed I experimented with the location of the .tcl file but got nowhere. Right now it is at the project top. I added a post_message line in it but I never see anything come out on the messages window. I intentionally misspelled a command in the .qsf file and qts found that immediately. It must be have a settings cache because it "reverted" the qsf settings and wrote them back to the qsf file. I put an error in my build_date.tcl file and there is never a complaint when I run A&S. I dont think qts is even processing the command in the qsf file. I tried restarting qts, does not run the script Its like the PRE and POST script running is disabled... Questions: How do I list the current working directory in the tcl console? ls and dir dont work. There doesnt seem to be a solution for this on the web either. Is this function removed from the quartus tcl implementation?
