21.1.12 Running Tcl Scripts from the Command Line

You can run Tcl scripts from your Windows or Linux command line as well as pass arguments to scripts from the command line.

Note: Tcl commands in this section are not case-sensitive.

To execute a Tcl script file in the Libero SoC Project Manager software from a shell command line:

At the prompt, type the path to the Microchip SoC software installation location followed by the word "SCRIPT" and a colon, and then the name of the script file as follows:

  • For Linux: <location of Libero SoC software installation>/bin/libero script:<filename>.tcl. For example, to run the Tcl script file "myscript.tcl", type: 
    C:\libero\bin\libero script:myscript.tcl
  • For Windows: <location of Libero SoC software installation>\Designer\bin\libero.exe script:<filename>.tcl. Where <location of Microchip SoC software> is the root directory in which you installed the Microchip SoC software, and <filename> is the name, including a relative or absolute path, of the Tcl script file to execute. For example, to run the Tcl script file "myscript.tcl", type: 
    C:/Microchip/Libero/Designer/bin/libero.exe script:myscript.tcl

To pass arguments from the command line to your Tcl script file:

At the prompt, type the path to the Microchip SoC software installation location followed by the SCRIPT argument:

  • For Linux: <location of Microchip SoC software>\bin\libero “SCRIPT_ARGS:<filename arg1 arg2 ...>”. For example:
    C:\libero\bin\libero SCRIPT:myscript.tcl “SCRIPT_ARGS:one two three”
  • For Windows: <location of Microchip SoC software>/Designer/bin/libero.exe “SCRIPT_ARGS:<filename arg1 arg2 ...>”. Where <location of Microchip SoC software> is the root directory in which you installed the Microchip SoC software, and “SCRIPT_ARGS:<filename arg1 arg2 ...>” is the name, including a relative or absolute path, of the Tcl script file and arguments you are passing to the script file. For example: 
    C:/Microchip/Libero/Designer/bin/libero.exe SCRIPT:myscript.tcl “SCRIPT_ARGS:one two three”

To obtain the output from the log file:

At the prompt, type the path to the Microchip SoC software installation location followed by the SCRIPT, SCRIPT_ARGS and LOGFILE arguments.

<location of Microchip SoC software> SCRIPT:<filename>.tcl “SCRIPT_ARGS:a b c” LOGFILE:<output.log>

Where:

  • location of Microchip SoC software is the root directory in which you installed the Microchip SoC software.
  • SCRIPT:<filename>.tcl is the name, including a relative or absolute path, of the Tcl script file.
  • SCRIPT_ARGS are the arguments you are passing to the script file.
  • output.log is the name of the log file.

For example:

C:\libero\designer\bin\libero SCRIPT:testTclparam.tcl “SCRIPT_ARGS:a b c” LOGFILE:testTclparam.log
