21.3.36 export_firmware

Description

This Tcl command exports design firmware configuration data, which consists of:
  • Component configuration for MSS/HPMS, FDDR and SERDES blocks instantiating your design.
  • Compatible firmware drivers for your peripherals

It also creates a workspace and project specific to the IDE tool of your choice (SoftConsole, Keil or IAR).

To open your exported firmware projects, you must invoke the third-party development tool (SoftConsole, Keil or IAR) outside Libero SoC.

If you make any changes to your design, you must re-export firmware.

export_firmware -export_dir {absolute or relative path} \
                [-create_project {0|1}] \
                [-software_ide {SoftConsole | Keil | IAR EWARM}]

Arguments

ParameterTypeDescription
export_dirstringSpecifies absolute or relative path and name of folder for the exported firmware. Default exported firmware created<project_name>/firmware direcotry.
create_projectbooleanGenerates the workspace and project for the specified IDE tool. Default is 0. Valid values are: TRUE, 1, true, FALSE, 0 or false.
software_idestringSpecifies one of three IDE tool name: SoftConsole | IAR EWARM | Keil.

If you use -create_project parameter and -software_ide paramter at the same time, Libero exports the workspace and project for that Software IDE tool to the export_path {SoftConsole|Keil|IAR} folder. Default is IAR EWARM.
