Tcl command update_content_to_memory_from_file

Hi, I wish to update a memory instance within a command prompt, instead of using the In-System Memory Editor. I'm not too familiar with Tcl scripts. I've tried : quartus_stp --tcl_eval b...

Did this problem get fixed?

I have the same issue, tested this on windows as well as linux and got the same result:

$ ./quartus_stp --tcl_eval get_editable_mem_instances -device_name '{@1: EP3SL340 (0x021050DD)}' -hardware_name {USB-Blaster [1-10]}

{0 512 1 RW ROM/RAM OTP0} {1 512 1 RW ROM/RAM OTP1} {2 512 1 RW ROM/RAM OTP2} {3 512 1 RW ROM/RAM OTP3} {4 512 1 RW ROM/RAM OTP4} {5 512 1 RW ROM/RAM OTP5} {6 512 1 RW ROM/RAM OTP6} {7 512 1 RW ROM/RAM OTP7} {8 16384 32 RW ROM/RAM ROM1} {9 16384 32 RW ROM/RAM ROM0} {10 8192 32 RW ROM/RAM RAM2} {11 32768 136 RW ROM/RAM FLAS}

$./quartus_stp --tcl_eval begin_memory_edit -device_name '{@1: EP3SL340 (0x021050DD)}' -hardware_name {USB-Blaster [1-10]}

$./quartus_stp --tcl_eval update_content_to_memory_from_file -instance_index 9 -mem_file_path "/home/rom.mif" -mem_file_type mif

Also if I retry the begin_memory_edit command after this I get:

$ ./quartus_stp --tcl_eval begin_memory_edit -device_name '{@1: EP3SL340 (0x021050DD)}' -hardware_name {USB-Blaster [1-10]}
