Quartus II Tcl Example: Export Report Data to CSV File
Many designers use Excel at some stage of an FPGA design. It's easy to export data from a Quartus® II report panel to a CSV file that you can open in Excel.
This simple procedure exports data from a specified report panel and writes it to a file. A project must be open when you call this procedure. An example of how to use it in a script follows.
proc panel_to_csv { panel_name csv_file } {
set fh [open $csv_file w]
load_report
set num_rows [get_number_of_rows -name $panel_name]
# Go through all the rows in the report file, including the
# row with headings, and write out the comma-separated data
for { set i 0 } { $i < $num_rows } { incr i } {
set row_data [get_report_panel_row -name $panel_name -row $i]
puts $fh [join $row_data ","]
}
unload_report
close $fh
}
Here's a script that uses the procedure. Run this at a system command prompt with the command below.
load_package report
package require cmdline
proc panel_to_csv { panel_name csv_file } {
set fh [open $csv_file w]
load_report
set num_rows [get_number_of_rows -name $panel_name]
# Go through all the rows in the report file, including the
# row with headings, and write out the comma-separated data
for { set i 0 } { $i < $num_rows } { incr i } {
set row_data [get_report_panel_row -name $panel_name -row $i]
puts $fh [join $row_data ","]
}
unload_report
close $fh
}
set options {\
{ "project.arg" "" "Project name" } \
{ "revision.arg" "" "Revision name" } \
{ "panel.arg" "" "Panel name" } \
{ "file.arg" "" "Output file name"} \
}
array set opts [::cmdline::getoptions quartus(args) $options]
project_open $opts(project) -revision $opts(revision)
panel_to_csv $opts(panel) $opts(file)
unload_report
You can run this script at a command prompt with the following command.
quartus_sh -t script.tcl -project <project name> -revision <revision name> -panel <panel name> -file <file name>
Ensure you quote the panel name argument properly if you enter it at a system command prompt. Certain characters, such as the vertical bar (|) have special meaning at a command shell.
