If you're on windows watch out for escapes and backslashes - it is often easier to write the path with forward slashes rather than trying to work out the escaping (TCL will silently convert them to backslashes)
2. Each SystemConsole plugin contributes commands, service types and/or drivers that implement these features. Most users will be able to ignore details of exactly which plugin provides which services. What do you need to know about plugins. 3. I don't know of a standard TCL command which searches within a TCL list, but if you write a proc yourself then you should be able to use the regexp command to match parts of the string Finally, for your script you are probably best off setting the auto usercode option in Quartus and loading your sof file and project first. Once both of these are loaded SystemConsole will automatically link the design to the JTAG connections so you won't need to use the design_link command or the (deprecated) device_load_jdi command.
