    In Quartus II software, Tools > System Debugging Tools > System Console

    Is it what you want?

    I found the bin sopc_builder.exe in ./[install_directory]/quartus/sopc_builder/bin. If you are a Linux user, the path would be ./[install_directory]/linux64/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/.

    System console can be opened from command-line.

    <install dir>/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/system-console -debug

    I often pass '-debug' switch to it to troubleshoot all kinds of issues such as application crashes.

    Other useful switches are '-cli --script <script_name>.tcl' to execute a TCL script in the command line mode without GUI, and '--help' to get accurate help for that Quartus revision.

    Thanks,

    Is there any possibilities to open gui tk application? My gui opens and immediately closes. I start tcl console with -cli and --script options. When I open my script from gui system-console it works fine
