Creating Makefile Scripts
The Quartus II software supports makefile scripts that use the Quartus II
executables, which allow you to integrate your scripts with a wide variety of
scripting languages. Figure 13 shows an excerpt from a standard makefile
script.
#------ Make a clock assignment with the Fmax requirement ------#
create_base_clock clock -fmax $required_fmax
#------ Make global assignments ------#
set_global_assignment -name family STRATIX
set_global_assignment -name device EP1S10F484C5
set_global_assignment -name tsu_requirement 7.55ns
#------ Make instance assignments ------#
# The following is the same as doing:
# "set_instance_assignment -name location -to clock Pin_M20"
set_location_assignment -to clock Pin_M20
#------ Compile using ::quartus::flow ------#
execute_flow -compile
#------ Report Fmax from report ------#
set actual_fmax [get_fmax_from_report]
puts ""
puts "-----------------------------------------------------"
puts "Required Fmax: $required_fmax Actual Fmax: $actual_fmax"
