9.15.7 Running Tcl Scripts from the Command Line

You can run Tcl scripts from your Windows® command line.

To execute a Tcl script file in the FlashPro® software from a shell command line:

1. At the prompt, type the path to the software followed by the word "SCRIPT" and a colon, and then the name of the script file as follows: <location of Actel software>/bin/flashpro.exe SCRIPT:<filename>
   • Executes in batch mode the script foo.tcl: <location of Actel software>/bin/flashpro.exe script:foo.tcl
   • Executes in batch mode the script foo.tcl and exports the log in the file foo.txt: <location of Actel software>/bin/flashpro.exe script:foo.tcl logfile:foo.txt
   • Executes in batch mode the script foo.tcl, creates a console where the log is displayed briefly, and exports the log in the file foo.txt: <location of Actel software>/bin/flashpro.exe script:foo.tcl console_mode:brief logfile:foo.txt
   • If you leave console_mode unspecified or set it to 'hide', FlashPro executes without a console window.
   • If you want to leave the console window open you can run the script with the console_mode parameter set to 'show', as in the following example: <location of Actel software>/bin/flashpro.exe script:foo.tcl console_mode:show logfile:foo.txt

   If you leave console_mode unspecified or set it to 'hide' FlashPro executes without a console window. If you want to leave the console window open you can run the script with the console_mode parameter set to 'show', as in the following example: <location of Actel software>/bin/flashpro.exe script:foo.tcl console_mode:show logfile:foo.txt

2. If you want to pass arguments to the Tcl script from the command line, then use the "SCRIPT_ARGS" variable as follows:<location of Actel software>/bin/flashpro.exe SCRIPT:<filename> SCRIPT_ARGS:"param1 param2 param3"

puts "Script name: $argv0"
puts "Number of arguments: $argc"
set i 0
foreach arg $argv {
puts "Arg $i : $arg"
incr i
}
