package_xo Command

Description

Kernels written in RTL are compiled using the package_xo command line utility. This utility, similar to xocc -c , generates .xo file which can subsequently used in the xocc linking stage.

Arguments

-kernel_name - (Required) Specifies the name of the RTL kernel.

-force- (Optional) Overwrite an existing XO file if one exists.

-kernel_xml - (Optional) Specify the path to an existing kernel XML file.

-design_xml - (Optional) Specify the path to an existing design XML file.

-ip_directory - (Optional) Specify the path to the kernel IP directory.

-parent_ip_directory- (Optional) If the kernel IP directory specified contains multiple IPs, specify a directory path to the parent IP where itscomponent.xmlis located directly below.

-kernel_files- (Optional) Kernel file name(s).

-kernel_xml_args - (Optional) Generate the kernel.xmlwith the specified function arguments. Each argument value should use the following format: 
{name:addressQualifier:id:port:size:offset:type:memSize}
Note: memSizeis optional.
-kernel_xml_pipes - (Optional) Generate the kernel.xmlwith the specified pipe(s). Each pipe value use the following format: 
{name:width:depth}
-kernel_xml_connections - (Optional) Generate the kernel.xmlfile with the specified connections. Each connection value should use the following format: 
{srcInst:srcPort:dstInst:dstPort}

-xo_path - (Required) Specifies the path and file name of the compiled object (XO) container file.

-quiet- (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note:Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose- (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note:Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

Examples

The following example creates the specified XO file containing an RTL kernel of the specified name: 
package_xo -xo_path /temp/data/rtl_kernel/Vadd_A_B.xo -kernel_name Vadd_A_B
