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


Parameter	Type	Description
export_dir	string	Specifies absolute or relative path and name of folder for the exported firmware. Default exported firmware created<project_name>/firmware direcotry.
create_project	boolean	Generates the workspace and project for the specified IDE tool. Default is 0. Valid values are: TRUE, 1, true, FALSE, 0 or false.
software_ide	string	Specifies 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.

Error Codes

None	Required parameter 'export_dir' is missing.
None	Parameter 'export_dir' has illegal value.
None	Parameter 'param_name' is not defined. Valid command formatting is 'export_firmware -export_dir "Export directory" [-create_project "TRUE \| FALSE"] [-software_ide "Software IDE"] ' .
