21.1.12 Running Tcl Scripts from the Command Line

(Ask a Question)

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
