General Description:
Synopsys FPGA Compiler and Design Compiler have scripting features that allow
users to access all the Compiler features without using the graphical user
interface. FPGA Express did not have this capability until version 3.0.
To obtain more information about the scripting capabilities in FPGA Express
version 3.x, open the help contents from the FPGA Express GUI and select
the topic "FPGA Scripting Tool (FST)".
However, Express 2.1.3 and older does have "batch mode" capabilities that
allows users to update entire projects or specific implementations if the project
and implementations have already been created.
Update from the Command Line
To update a project or chip from the command line, give the FPGA Express batch
command FE at a DOS prompt. FE operates only on existing projects created
through the interactive GUI version of FPGA/Foundation Express.
Syntax
FE [-chip chip_name -export export_directory] project.exp
You can use FE to update:
- Project
Do not specify any switches for a global update. In this mode, FE updates all
files and chips in the project. After updating it in the project, FE exports
any previously exported chip to the same directory.
- Chip
To update a chip, specify a chip and an export directory. In chip update mode,
FE updates only the specified chip and associated files. After updating the
chip in the project, FE exports it to the location specified. Note that the
export directory for the chip is not recorded and does not affect the behavior
of subsequent global updates.
Example:
DOS> FE -chip design -export C:\projects\newdir C:\projects\myproj\myproj.exp
