Scripting the process of programming the EPCS on the DE0-Nano dev board.

Question

I have just been through the steps of taking my SOF file and converting it into a filetype that can be programmed into the EPCS device on my DE0-nano development board i.e. http://geobyjmhembeddedengineer.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/getting-your-design-to-load-from-epcs16.html :)

It is a very straight forward process. However it take quite a few mouse click to convert the file and finally program it into the EPCS device. i was wondering is it possible to script this process in some way? :confused: Hence saving me time and reducing and chance I will make a mistake.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

After a little reading around and playing I found a solution to my question :cool:. The process can be scripted in a batchfile as follows:  
copy onehertzled_top.sof de0nano_pmg.sof
C:\altera\12.1\quartus\bin\quartus_cpf -c de0nano_pmg.cof
C:\altera\12.1\quartus\bin\quartus_pgm -c "USB-Blaster " de0nano_pmg.cdf
pause
  If you want more detail I have written up my findings in a blog post: http://geobyjmhembeddedengineer.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/scripting-process-of-programming-epcs.html  Regards  geobyjmh http://geobyjmhembeddedengineer.blogspot.co.uk/
