Hi Folks, I am developping a bigger project on an Altera FPGA with Quartus II (Lite Edition). Once the FPGA becomes fuller and fuller, it has turned out that I get considerable differences in timing results depending on the fitter initial seed value. I now want to try a larger number of seed values automatically with a tcl script. That script should set a seed value, run the fitter, then run the timing analysis and finally print out the worst case slack. Then it should increment the seed value by one and restart form beginning until a certain seed value is reached. My problem: I have no idea about how tcl works. So I do not even know where to start. Does anybody have a sample script I could base my script on that would help me to get through the task of writing such a script? Or maybe someone has already wrote such a script and would share it here? Remark: From old Xilinx times I know that ISE had such a functionality build in. Even though I like Quartus much more than the old ISE, this is the first function I am really missing.
