KFC,


Assuming I understand your question, to open STP GUI via command, you can just invoke the application in terminal/cp. To add node, set trigger etc. using script I don't think all can be done. I believe there is some limitation with script when come to signaltap. In shell/prompt, you can type quartus_sh --qhelp and see wht tcl and package support for signaltap. there is quatus_stp, logic analyzer, stp. If there none available, no choice you have to use GUI instead.

Hi SyafieqS_Intel

Thank you very much. I will try it. The fatal problem is that I can't add any nodes in SignalTapII GUI because there haven't any nodes information in SignalTapII GUI. And I have an idea, but I don't know how doing that. Can I open a SignalTapII GUI by script command when I open the project by script command at the same time? The following command is the command to open a Quartus project. Can I add some command in the following command to auto open SignalTapII GUI so that I can add nodes by double right-click --> add nodes in SignalTapII GUI. If you have any experience, could you please tell me? Thank you.

Command to open the project:

quartus --64bit ./test.qpf
