    You may checkout this document for all the supported command-line and tcl scripting in Quartus.

    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683432/22-4/faq.html


    The tcl command "execute_module -tool" support these option [-tool <asm|cdb|drc|eda|fit|map|syn|pow|sta|stp|sim|si|cpf|ipg|pfg> ]

    I think the asm_sof is an illegal value. And there is no "output directory" option available for execute_module command.


    Best Regards,

    Hey Richard,

    My updated TCL script:

    package require ::quartus::project
    package require ::quartus::flow

    # Set the project directory
    set project_dir "C:/Amir_Berger/Project/Y"

    # Set the project name
    set project_name "X"

    # Set the output directory for compiled files
    set output_dir "$project_dir/output_files"

    # Set the name of the SOF file
    set sof_file "$project_name.sof"

    # Set the output directory for SOF file
    set sof_dir "$output_dir/$sof_file"

    # Open the project
    project_open $project_dir/$project_name.qpf

    # Complie Design
    execute_flow -compile
    qexec "quartus_pgm -c 1 -m JTAG -o MILTECH_2024.sof"

    The errors I got:

    Error:while executing
    Error:"qexec "quartus_pgm -c 1 -m JTAG -o MILTECH_2024.sof""
    Error: (file "ProgSOF_1.tcl" line 28)
    Error: invoked from within
    Error:"_source ProgSOF_1.tcl"
    Error: ("uplevel" body line 1)
    Error: invoked from within
    Error:"uplevel 1 $cmd "
    Error: (procedure "source" line 5)
    Error: invoked from within
    Error:"source ProgSOF_1.tcl"

    Following this error description, I understand that the problem is related to the "qexec "quartus_pgm.." line, but I don't understand why.

    I will appreciate your help

    Thanks.
