Problem using qmegawiz command line for altshift_taps

Hi all,

I'm having problems generating an altshift_taps megafunction from command line. I can't use the gui because the width/number_of_taps needs to be changed programmatically using tcl.

I have no problem generating another megafunction such as dcfifo using

qexec "qmegawiz -silent module=dcfifo -f:dcfifo.txt my_fifo.v"

with the following contents in the dcfifo.txt file:

add_width=1
LPM_WIDTH=2
WRITE_ACLR_SYNCH=OFF
READ_ACLR_SYNCH=OFF
UNDERFLOW_CHECKING=ON
LPM_TYPE=dcfifo
WRSYNC_DELAYPIPE=4
ACF_DISABLE_MLAB_RAM_USE=TRUE
ADD_USEDW_MSB_BIT=ON
DELAY_WRUSEDW=1
INTENDED_DEVICE_FAMILY="Cyclone IV E"
LPM_HINT=UNUSED
LPM_NUMWORDS=8
OVERFLOW_CHECKING=ON
RAM_BLOCK_TYPE=M9K
RDSYNC_DELAYPIPE=4
ADD_RAM_OUTPUT_REGISTER=ON
DELAY_RDUSEDW=1
LPM_SHOWAHEAD=ON
MAXIMIZE_SPEED=5
USE_EAB=ON
CLOCKS_ARE_SYNCHRONIZED=FALSE
LPM_WIDTHU=3
rdclk=used
wrempty=used
wrfull=used
q=used
rdempty=used
rdfull=used
wrreq=used
wrusedw=used
aclr=used
data=used
rdreq=used
rdusedw=used
wrclk=used

For the altshift_taps megafunction however

qexec "qmegawiz -silent module=altshift_taps -f:taps.txt my_taps.v"

with the following contents in the taps.txt file:

aclr=used
clock=used
shiftout=used
taps=used
clken=used
shiftin=usedlpm_hint="RAM_BLOCK_TYPE=M9K"
lpm_type="altshift_taps"
number_of_taps=32
tap_distance=8
width=8
ACF_DISABLE_MLAB_RAM_USE=false
POWER_UP_STATE=CLEARED

generates a file called qmegawiz_errors_log.txt containing the following text:

Sep 04 09AM:44:03>: The selected MegaWizard Plug-In requires an open Quartus II project

I entered the command in the tcl script window with an open project.

Entering the command in a tcl script between a project_open and project_close calls generates the same error.

I'm not sure what the problem is. I've tried with both Linux and Windows 64 bit Quartus II web-editions.

EDIT:

The command

qmegawiz -silent INTENDED_DEVICE_FAMILY="CYCLONE IV E" -f:taps.txt my_taps.v

generates an error:

Error: The specified megafunction or wizard is not supported in command line mode

although qmegawiz -h explicitly mentions that module altshift_taps is supported in command-line mode.

Cheers,

Nico
