Note: Ensure that you enclose String-type values with double-quotes.
2. Access the command prompt of your operating system, and change the current directory to your
working directory by typing the following command:
cd c:
\
altera
\
10.0
\
quartus
\
work
\
The clear box executable file name is clearbox.exe.
Note: When you install the Quartus II software, the %QUARTUS_ROOTDIR%\bin is added into
your system’s environment variables. Therefore, you can run the clear box command from any
directory.
3. To view the available ports and parameters for this IP core, type the following command at the
command prompt of your operating system:
clearbox alttemp_sense -h
4. To generate the Altera Temperature Sensor IP core variation file based on the ports and parameter
settings in the text file, type the following command:
clearbox alttemp_sense -f *.txt
For example,
clearbox alttemp_sense -f sample_param_test.txt
5. After the clear box generator generates the IP core variation files, you can instantiate the IP core
module in a HDL file or a block diagram file in the Quartus II software.
6. To view the estimated hardware resources that the Altera Temperature Sensor IP core uses, type the
following command:
clearbox alttemp_sense -f sample_param_test.txt -resc_count
Note: This command does not generate a HDL file.
Altera Temperature Sensor Device Support
The Altera Temperature Sensor IP core supports the following device family:
• Stratix V
• Stratix IV
• Arria 10
• Arria V
• Arria V GZ
Altera Temperature Sensor Parameters
The parameters are applicable for all supported devices except Arria 10 devices. There are no available
parameters for Arria 10 devices.
You can parameterize the Altera Temperature Sensor IP core using the IP Catalog and parameter editor,
or with the command-line interface (CLI). Use the parameter editor to quickly specify parameters in a
GUI.
Expert users may choose to instantiate and parameterize the IP core through the command-line interface
using the clear box generator command. This method requires you to have command-line scripting
knowledge.
