Hi,

If you have the Quartus executable file in your PATH, you can simply do the command :

os.system('quartus_sh --flow compile <quartus_project_name>.qpf')

You must generate your project with quartus UI a first time to have the <quartus_project_name>.qpf file.

I don`t have any file. Just i am going to build the design with Ethernet concept.

MY design flow as follows

1. Going to give command from computer through Python

2. Quartus should receive that command and should generate the signal (using Cyclone V FPGA).

How to build in Quartus ? Whether i need to use Qsys or NIOS Processor ? Please explain me with steps. :(
