Tcl Package and Version

Belongs to ::quartus::flow 1.1

Syntax execute_module [-h | -help] [-long_help] [-args <arguments> ] [-classic] [-dni] [-dont_export_assignments] [-tool <asm|cdb|eda|fit|map|syn|pow|sta|stp|sim|si|cpf|ipg|pfg|qtlg|quick_elaboration|sh> ]
Arguments -h | -help Short help
-long_help Long help with examples and possible return values
-args <arguments> Option to specify arguments for the executable
-classic Option to request flow be executed in Classic mode.
-dni Option to request tool option be executed in DNI mode.
-dont_export_assignments Option not to export assignments to file. By default, this command exports assignments before running command-line executables.
-tool <asm|cdb|eda|fit|map|syn|pow|sta|stp|sim|si|cpf|ipg|pfg|qtlg|quick_elaboration|sh> Option to run the specified executable
Description 
Runs one of the command-line executables, such as quartus_map or
quartus_fit. If the -args option is specified, the arguments are
passed to the command-line executable.

All assignments are exported automatically first, as if the
"export_assignments" command was called first, unless
-dont_export_assignments option is specified.

You must use the Tcl command "catch" to determine whether the
command-line executable ran successfully or not, as in the following
example:

if {[catch {execute_module -tool map} result]} {
	puts "\nResult: $result\n"
	puts "ERROR: Analysis & Synthesis failed. See the report file.\n"
} else {
	puts "\nINFO: Analysis & Synthesis was successful.\n"
}
Example Usage 
# Run quartus_map using device family Stratix and device part EP1S10B672C6.
execute_module -tool map -args "--family=Stratix --part=EP1S10B672C6"

# Compile using a set of executables
execute_module -tool map
execute_module -tool fit
execute_module -tool sta
execute_module -tool asm
execute_module -tool eda

# To determine if Analysis & Synthesis was successful or not
# and print out a personalized message.
if {[catch {execute_module -tool map} result]} {
	puts "\nResult: $result\n"
	puts "ERROR: Analysis & Synthesis failed. See the report file.\n"
} else {
	puts "\nINFO: Analysis & Synthesis was successful.\n"
}
