5.12.1. Signal Tap Command-Line Options
You can use the following options with the quartus_stp executable:
Option | Usage | Description |
---|---|---|
--stp_file <stp_filename> | Required | Specifies the name of the .stp file. |
--enable | Optional | Sets the ENABLE_SIGNALTAP option to ON in the project's .qsf file, so the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer runs in the next compilation. If you omit this option, the Intel® Quartus® Prime software uses the current value of ENABLE_SIGNALTAP in the .qsf file. Writes subsequent Signal Tap assignments to the .stp that appears in the .qsf file. If the .qsf file does not specify a .stp file, you must use the --stp_file option. |
--disable | Optional | Sets the ENABLE_SIGNALTAP option to OFF in the project's .qsf file, so the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer does not in the next compilation. If you omit the --disable option, the Intel® Quartus® Prime software uses the current value of ENABLE_SIGNALTAP in the .qsf file. |
--create_signaltap_hdl_file | Optional | Creates an .stp file representing the Signal Tap instance. You must use the --stp_file option to create an .stp. Equivalent to the Create Signal Tap File from Design Instances command in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software . |
Examples
The first example illustrates how to compile a design with the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer at the command line.
quartus_stp filtref --stp_file stp1.stp --enable quartus_map filtref --source=filtref.bdf --family=CYCLONE quartus_fit filtref --part=EP1C12Q240C6 --fmax=80MHz --tsu=8ns quartus_asm filtref
The quartus_stp --stp_file stp1.stp --enable command creates the QSF variable and instructs the Intel® Quartus® Prime software to compile the stp1.stp file with your design. The --enable option must be applied for the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer to compile into your design.
The following example creates a new .stp after building the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer instance with the IP Catalog.
quartus_stp filtref --create_signaltap_hdl_file --stp_file stp1.stp
