Re: Quartus and source control

The list of all source files compiled can be found in the Report file under
Analysis and Synthesis->Source Files Read.
You can right click in this window and save the panel out to a text file.
Take every file which says User Entered, every file which is not under the
Quartus installation directory and add it to your source code control
system. Then follow Petter's instructions. The process of discovery only
works in the cases where there is 1-1 relationship between filename and
entity name. This is true for BDF's (schematics) and TDF's(AHDL), but does
not hold true for HDL's like VHDL and Verilog. You are required to add the
list of HDL files in your project.

I recommend that you archive your design, and restore it in a separate
directory. This should contain the list of files that Quartus needs to
recreate your project. Never archive the db directory. To learn how to
generate a Quartus Project from scratch each time if you only have the HDL
files take a look at the Tcl file generated by the Project->Generate Tcl
file for Project command.

Hope this helps,

Hello all,
I'm interested in implementing a source control system (Subversion) in
the company I work. We do mostly Altera FPGA designs, so our main tool
is Quartus. I would like to know if anyone has done that before, and
how. The main problem with Quartus is that it has no "source file
list", but rather it searches dynamically for files (mostly true for
old design entry methods like AHDL and schematic). Does anyone know of
a tool (maybe a TCL script) that takes a projects and generate a list
of all source files included?
I would be happy to hear about any experience of this kind.

Thanks,
Avishay
