One option to create project ist using the "Module Selection Guide" in "_create_win_setup.cmd" on Windows OS and "_create_linux_setup.sh" on Linux OS:
- Execute "_create_win_setup.cmd" or "_create_linux_setup.sh"
- Select "Module Selection Guide" (press "0" and Enter)
- Follow instructions
For manuell configuration or addition command files for execution will be generated with "_create_win_setup.cmd" or "_create_linux_setup.sh". If you use our prepared batch files for project creation do the following steps:
- open "design_basic_settings.cmd/.sh" with text editor and set correct quartus path . and board part number from <project_root_directory>/board_files/TEIxxxx_devices.csv
- run "quartus_create_project_batchmode.cmd/sh".
See Reference Design: Getting Started for more details.

Command files will be generated with "_create_win_setup.cmd" on Windows OS and with "_create_linux.setup.sh" on Linux OS.
Windows Command Files
File Name | Description |
---|---|
Design + Settings | |
_create_win_setup.cmd | Use to create batch files or project with "Module Selection Guide". |
design_basic_settings.cmd | Settings for the other *.cmd files. Following Settings settings are avaliable:
|
Hardware Design | |
quartus_create_project_batchmode.cmd | Create Project with settings from "design_basic_settings.cmd" and source folders. Build all Quartus hardware and software files if the sources are available. If old quartus project exists, type "y" into the command line input to delete "<design_name>/quartus/", and "<design_name>/software/" directory with related files before project will created again. |

Design Environment: Usage
...
- Install "Quartus Prime 18.1 Lite Edition" (additional recommended: Install "Quartus Prime Software v18.1 Update 1")
- Automatically configuration of the reference-designs:
- Run "_create_win_setup.cmd" or "_create_linux_setup.sh"
- select "Module Selection Guide" and follow instructions.
- "design_basic_settings.cmd/.sh" will be configured over this menu
- Manual Configure the reference-design (Note: batch/bash files works only in the basefolder of the project, use "_create_win_setup.cmd"/"_create_linux_setup.sh" or copy manually):
1. Open “design_basic_settings.cmd/.sh” with a text-editor:
a. Set correct Quartus Environment:
@set QUADIR=C:/intelFPGA_lite (example for Windows OS)
@set QUARTUS_VERSION=18.1
Program settings will be search in :
%QUADIR%/%QUARTUS_VERSION%/quartus/
%QUADIR%/%QUARTUS_VERSION%/nios2eds/
Example directory: cC:/intelFPGA_lite/18.1/
Attention: Scripts are supported only with predefined Quartus Version!
b. Set the correct module part-number:
@set PARTNUMBER=x
You find the available Module Numbers in <design_name>/board_files/<board_series>TEIxxxx_devices.csv - Create a project in one step:
2. Run “quartus_create_project_batchmode.cmd”/"quartus_create_project_bashmode.sh" - Programming FPGA or flash memory with prebuilt files:
3. Connect your Hardware-Modul with PC via JTAG
4. Open "Programmer (Quartus Prime 18.1)" from start menu or run "quartus_open_existing_project_guimode.cmd" and select Tools → Programmer
5. Select "Add File..." and open correct file from <design_name>/prebuilt/<device<board_listpart_shortname>/programming_files/
6. Press "Start" to programm FPGA or flash memory
...
List with commands to modify source files during project creation. (<design_name>/settings/mod_list.csv)
Qsys presets file:
Predefined settings for Qsys IP Components (<design_name>/settings/presets_qsys.qprs)
HDL-Design
HDL files can be saved in the subfolder "<design_name>/vhdl/". They will be loaded automatically on project creation. Available formats are *.vhd, *.v and *.sv.

Checklist / Troubleshoot
- Are you using exactly the same Quartus version? If not then the scripts will not work, no need to try.
- Ary Are you using Quartus on Windows PC? Quartus works in Linux also, but the scripts are tested on Windows only.
- Win OS only: Use short path name, OS allows only 256 characters in normal path.
- Linux OS only: Use bash as shell and add access rights to bash files. Check with "ls ls /bin/sh". It should be desplaydisplay: /bin/sh -> bash. Access rights can be changed with "chmod"
- Are space character on the project path? Somtimes TCL-Scripts can't handle this correctly. Remove spaces from project path.
- Did you have the newest reference design build version? Maybe it's only a bug from a older version.
- On project creation process old files will be deleted. Sometimes the access will be denied by os (synchronisiation problem) and the scripts canceled. Please try again.
- If nothing helps, send a mail to Trenz Electronic Support (support[at]trenz-electronic.de) with subject line "[TE-Reference Designs] ", the complete zip-name from your reference design.
