11 years agoThanks. Yes! I do want a pop-up. Without a pop-up, I can increment the rev with a text file just before the compile. But technically, a hard brake in the processing before incrementing the revision avoids situations where one can forget to roll up the rev during the frenzy of debug. This is extremely valuable in a team where compiles occur often during a day.
Thank you. Best regards, Sanjay --- Quote Start --- Did you want a pop-up, or do you just want a procedure that someone needs to follow? A while back I posted some Tcl/Tk GUI tests that would work in the Quartus GUI ... http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27920 But you can also just add a parameter to the design via Assignments->Settings, Analysis & Synthesis Settings, Default Parameters, and then edit that. The pre-flow script can read that parameter as part of the synthesis flow. The DSP examples in this tutorial http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/~dwh/correlator/pdf/esc-104paper_hawkins.pdf http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/~dwh/correlator/pdf/esc-104code_hawkins.zip use that method, i.e., you change the EXAMPLE parameter, and the pre-flow script changes the design.
