tdc Obtain information from the Timing Analyzer.

To keep memory requirements as low as possible, only the minimum number of packages load automatically with each Intel® Quartus® Prime executable. To run commands from other packages, load those packages beforehand.

Run your scripts with executables that include the packages you use in the scripts. For example, to use commands in the sdc_ext package, you must use the quartus_sta executable because quartus_sta is the only executable with support for the sdc_ext package.

The following command prints lists of the packages loaded or available to load for an executable, to the console:

<executable name> --tcl_eval help

For example, type the following command to list the packages loaded or available to load by the quartus_fit executable: 

quartus_fit --tcl_eval help
