ContributorHow to import assignment files by command?
I already have a CSV file for assignment. Does there exist a command to import the CSV file into my projects? Could you please tell me? Thank you very much.

Hi KfC,
In qsf file, most of the flow is in tcl and quartus support tcl compiler, thus, importing csv using normal tcl command should be working. You may look at below link for details tcl read and write.

Thank you, SyafieqS_Intel, very much. I will try it latter.
(1)Before that, could Quartus auto execute .tcl files by adding .tcl files into the project as follows picture?
(2)And the means about you said "importing csv using normal Tcl command" is mean that Quartus exist a command to import .csv file? Could you tell me what command is? I can't find it.
Thank you very much.

Hi KfC,
It is best to use csv package in Tcllib as it can handle weird cases in that format. You may refer to link below for example.

Hi KfC,
You can import it via import assignment dialog box in Quartus menu. To do this, click Assignments | Import Assignments... click on the button labelled "..." and select the file.csv file. Click OK and then click OK again to import the assignments.

Hi SyafieqS_Intel
Thank you, SyafieqS_Intel, very much. Unfortunately, the same design has different pin assignment in each Quartus project for different verification engineers because the same pin has different functions. Could I use some command to add the file.csv in qsf file or in qip file? So, I can directly identify which assignment file is using.
