This package contains the set of Tcl functions for making project-wide assignments.
In versions before 4.0 of this package, the full path of the source file assignment was returned when you
accessed the assignment through the "get_global_assignment" or "get_all_global_assignments" command.
In version 4.0 of this package, the actual value of the source file assignment stored in the Quartus II
Settings File (.qsf) is returned. To get the resolved full path of the file, use the "resolve_file_path"
command. For more information about resolving file names and view an example, type "resolve_file_path
-long_help".
In version 5.0 of this package, two new Tcl commands "get_all_assignments" and "get_assignment_info"
have been introduced to replace the following commands:
■ get_all_quartus_defaults
■ get_all_global_assignments
■ get_all_instance_assignments
■ get_all_parameters
These two new commands simplify the interface to retrieve information about Quartus II Settings File
(.qsf) and Quartus II Default Settings File (.qdf) assignments.
In addition, the new "assignment_group" command replaces the deprecated "timegroup" command.
In version 6.0, all Tcl commands designed to process Timing Analyzer assignments have been moved to
the ::quartus::timing_assignment package.
