tcl in system mem editor

is there a guide on how to use tcl to rd/wr to mem ?

i try something similar to this, but with my own device name under quartus Tcl console, but it output error "quartus_stp"

so i guess whats the proper way to run in-systme memory editor via tcl console or command line?

begin_memory_edit -hardware_name "USB-Blaster \[USB-0\]" -device_name "@1: EP1S25/_HARDCOPY_FPGA_PROTOTYPE (0x020030DD)"

write_content_to_memory -instance_index 0 -start_address 575 -word_count 2 -content "0000001011011100" 

puts [read_content_from_memory -instance_index 0 -start_address 575 -word_count 2 ]

write_content_to_memory -instance_index 0 -start_address 575 -word_count 2 -content "E2F1" -content_in_hex

puts [read_content_from_memory -instance_index 0 -start_address 575 -word_count 2 -content_in_hex]

end_memory_edit

      i try that didn't work. actually the above code are example from altera, i just modify a bit for my dev board device. does quartus tcl console accept command such as begin_memory_edit ? it always output quartus_stp error.

        The error message indicate that you need to run the tcl script using the executable command:

        quartus_stp

        Usage:

        quartus_stp [-h | --help [=<option|topic>] |v ]
quartus_stp <project name> [<option>]
quartus_stp -t <script file> [<script args>]
quartus_stp -s
quartus_stp --tcl_eval <tcl command>
