Including Files in Verilog

--- Quote Start ---

Any advice?

Use Tcl to create the absolute path name of the file, and then use that in the Quartus assignment:

set_global_assignment -name VERILOG_FILE $full_path_to_file

Given the top-level directories where your ASIC source is located, you can use Tcl glob to automate listing of all the Verilog files.

Ok, I did say I was a noob. What is the tcl command to get the absolute path name? BTW I already tried adding these files to the compile list in Quartus. It didn't change anything.

I tried:

set my_path file join root_of_path tail_of_path

set_global_assignment -name VERILOG_FILE $my_path

This has no effect. I tried it with just the path, and with the file name.

There's examples of how to script Quartus in this tutorial:

http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/using_the_usb-blaster_as_an_sopc/qsys_avalon-mm_master_tutorial

If you look at one of the synthesis scripts, eg.,

altera_jtag_to_avalon_mm_tutorial\hdl\boards\bemicro_sdk\qsys_system\scripts\synth.tcl

you'll see an example of how the script determines the path to the tutorial source, and then uses absolute paths in the subsequent assignments.

Cheers,

Dave
