To perform a SignalProbe^™ compilation on a design with Tcl:  Read This First

1. If necessary, create a new project or open an existing project.

2. Open the Quartus^® II Tcl Console window.  Shortcut

3. To assign SignalProbe pins assignments, use the following syntax at the Quartus II Tcl Console command prompt:

   cmp add_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> LOCATION <value>
   cmp add_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> RESERVE_PIN "AS SIGNALPROBE OUTPUT"
   

   Example:

   cmp add_assignment chiptrip "" C LOCATION Pin_A2
cmp add_assignment chiptrip "" C RESERVE_PIN "AS SIGNALPROBE OUTPUT"


4. To assign SignalProbe sources assignments, use the following syntax at the command prompt:

   cmp add_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> SIGNALPROBE_SOURCE <value>
   cmp add_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> SIGNALPROBE_ENABLE "ON"
   

   Example:

   cmp add_assignment chiptrip "" C SIGNALPROBE_SOURCE clock
cmp add_assignment chiptrip "" C SIGNALPROBE_ENABLE "ON"


5. To compile the design, use the following syntax at the command prompt:

   cmp start SignalProbe [<compilation type>] [<file name>]
   

   Example:

   cmp start SignalProbe


6. If you want to allow the Compiler to route SignalProbe signals by modifying a design's fitting, use the following syntax at the command prompt:

   cmp add_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> SIGNALPROBE_ALLOW_OVERUSE ON
   

   Example:

   cmp add_assignment "" "" "" SIGNALPROBE_ALLOW_OVERUSE ON

7. If you want to compile the routed SignalProbe signals in a normal compilation, use the following syntax at the command prompt:

   cmp add_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> SIGNALPROBE_COMPILATION ON
   

   Example:

   cmp add_assignment "" "" "" SIGNALPROBE_COMPILATION ON

To remove SignalProbe sources and assignments from a design with Tcl:

1. If necessary, open an existing project.

2. If necessary, open the Quartus II Tcl Console window.

3. To remove SignalProbe sources assignment, use the following syntax at the command prompt:

   cmp remove_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> SIGNALPROBE_SOURCE <value>
   cmp remove_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> SIGNALPROBE_ENABLE "ON"
   

   Example:

   cmp remove_assignment chiptrip "" C SIGNALPROBE_SOURCE clock
cmp remove_assignment chiptrip "" C SIGNALPROBE_ENABLE "ON"


4. To remove SignalProbe pins assignments, use the following syntax at the command prompt:

   cmp remove_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> LOCATION <value>
   cmp remove_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> RESERVE_PIN "AS SIGNALPROBE OUTPUT"
   

   Example:

   cmp remove_assignment chiptrip "" C LOCATION Pin_A2
cmp remove_assignment chiptrip "" C RESERVE_PIN "AS SIGNALPROBE OUTPUT"


5. If you want to turn off Automatically route SignalProbe signals during compilation, use the following syntax at the command prompt:

   cmp add_assignment <section_identifier> <source> <destination> SIGNALPROBE_COMPILATION OFF
   

   Example:

   cmp add_assignment "" "" "" SIGNALPROBE_COMPILATION OFF
