Honored ContributorHi Everybody,
I started using scripts for compiling and have the following problem: Using quartus_sh: How can I filter the information shown in MS-DOS? I only want to see Warnings, Errors and Critical Warnings. Maybe "Started Fitter" or such info would also be nice. quartus_sh --help was not helpful :-(
Honored ContributorPerhaps you have already tried this but I would guess that the same techniques that one can use to suppress messages while in the Quartus development application would also work when using the shell commands. I have not tried that myself but would be interested to hear if this helps.
See the ""Analyzing and Controlling Synthesis Messages" chapter in this part of the Quartus Handbook: http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/qts/qts_qii51008.pdfHonored ContributorYou can use quartus_sh command with option -s!
Honored ContributorJerry, I do not understand how the -s option can be used to control the large number of info messages that quartus displays in the MS-DOS window while a compilation script.
I did check into my suggestion above and it seems to have no impact on the messages produced, so it may be disregarded. Seems like the best ways to check warnings and errors are either to open up the project in the quartus IDE and look at the compilation report or to have the tcl script parse the compilation report and sort out the non-suppressed messages of the desired levels. So far, I normally have the tcl script check the worst case slack and some other key parameters and then use the quartus GUI to scan for warnings.Honored ContributorHi mvanpelt,
You are right, you should write script to read the report from the rpt files after compilation. The -s options just can pause the ms-dos when the compilation is completed.Honored Contributoropen Nios II Command Shell. run:
quartus_sh --flow compile project.qpf | grep WarningHonored ContributorGood idea, thank you. As someone who does not (yet) use Nios, I was not even aware of the Nios shell.
In my case, I use a Tcl script to do the build. Then your suggestion can be extended to: quartus_sh -t build.tcl | grep WarningHonored Contributorcool! cygwin is a big help on Windows. if you find yourself doing a lot of scripting, i would recommend trying a Linux VM
Honored ContributorHonored Contributoryeal, i search "grep" words and found that it is Linux command.
I'm using window OS, however, i used scripts often when design QII projects. For this case, maybe, we can use below tcl code to extract warning information from rpt files:set a "*Warning (*"set f
while { >=0} {
if {} {
puts stdout $line
puts stdout " Warnings!!!"
} else {
# #puts stdout "NO Warnings!!!"
}
}
close $f as mentioned above, you can use the Nios II Command Shell on Windows, which is actually a cygwin terminal. cygwin includes grep
