Command Summaries

Although this tutorial uses the Xilinx Design Manager to process the Calc design, you can also manually run the individual programs that the Xilinx Design Manager runs. You can also bypass the Xilinx Design Manager and run each individual program from the system prompt.

This section details command sequences that you can use to perform the translations the Xilinx Design Manager performs in this tutorial. You write the commands as you would type them at the system prompt or in a batch file. You can also see a summary of these system commands by using the Utilities Command History and Utilities Command Preview selections in Design Manager or Flow Engine. After navigating to the Command History or Command Preview dialog box, select the display Mode to Command Line to see the detailed system commands, including command-line options, used by Flow Engine. You can cut and paste from these Command dialog boxes into your text editor to create batch files.


NOTE

The commands listed here differ slightly from the commands in the Command History and Command Preview windows. The commands listed here show how you typically execute the Xilinx programs from the system prompt, outside of the Xilinx Design Manager framework. The commands listed in the Command History and Command Preview windows reflect how Flow Engine executes Xilinx programs to fit into the Xilinx Design Manager framework.
