The Quartus II command-line executables and Tcl shells are supported on
all Quartus II operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux,
and Unix platforms.
For more information on Quartus II Tcl packages and their available Tcl
procedures, refer to the Tcl Packages and Commands chapter in the
Quartus II Scripting Reference Manual.
Command-Line Processing
In addition to the interactive Tcl shell, the Quartus II command-line
executables support command-line switches for executing Tcl scripts and
commands. When used with these switches, a command-line executable
quits when complete. The command-line executables also provide
switches for performing specific Quartus II operations. For example, the
following c-shell script takes as its argument the top-level design file and
entity name and runs it through the entire HardCopy II design flow.
!#/bin/csh
quartus_sh --flow compile %1
quartus_cdb %1 --create_companion=%1_hcii
quartus_sh --flow compile %1 -c %1_hcii
