Setting Up an XST Script<br />

Run Command<br />

An XST script is a set of commands, each command having various<br />

options. XST recognizes the following commands:<br />

• run<br />

• set<br />

• elaborate<br />

• time<br />

Following is a description of the run command.<br />

• The command begins with a keyword run, which is followed by<br />

a set of options and its values.<br />

run option_1 value option_2 value ...<br />

• Each option name starts with dash (-). For instance: -ifn, -ifmt,<br />

-ofn.<br />

• Each option has one value. There are no options without a value.<br />

• The value for a given option can be one of the following:<br />

♦ Predefined by XST (for instance, YES or NO).<br />

♦ Any string (for instance, a file name or a name of the top level<br />

entity). There are two options (-vlgpath and -vlgincdir) that<br />

accept several directories as values. The directories must be<br />

separated by spaces, and enclosed altogether by double<br />

quotes (““) as in the following example.<br />

-vlgpath “c”\vlg1 c:\vlg2”<br />

♦ An integer.<br />

• Options and values are case sensitive.<br />

In the following tables, you can find the name of each option and its<br />

values.<br />

• First column—the name of the options you can use in command<br />

line mode. If the option is in bold, it must be present in the<br />

command line.<br />
