    Hi Frank,

    yes, the stp.py that you referenced is a what is currently available.  One note is that the module in only available using quartus_py.   This can be accessed using the Quartus Command Window (Windows OS) or by exporting the quartus/bin directory (Linux).

Hi Kenny,
I found in the meantime
altera_pro\26.1\quartus\common\python\lib\site-packages\altera_sld\stp.py

Apparently no other code or documentation provided, but looks like a good starting point.

Regards
Frank

    Since this information should be sufficient, we shall close this thread for now.

      Hi,

      I didn't yet start evaluating the Python interface, thus I can't say how far we'll get without regular documentation. Personally I would expect a brief explanation of concept, list of exported data types and implemented commands. Thus I'l add a question mark to "sufficient".

      Anyway, I appreciate that the Python interface was published as is.

      Regards Frank
