XFLOW Syntax

Following is the command line syntax for XFLOW:

xflow [–p partname][flow type][option file[.opt]] [xflow options] design_name

flow type can be any of the flow types listed in "XFLOW Flow Types". Specifying a flow type prompts XFLOW to read a certain flow file. You can combine multiple flow types on one command line, but each flow type must have its own option file.

option file can be any of the option files that are valid for the specified flow type. See "XFLOW Option Files" for more information. In addition, option files are described in the applicable flow type section.

xflow options can be any of the options described in "XFLOW Options". They can be listed in any order. Separate multiple options with spaces.

design_name is the name of the top-level design file you want to process. See "XFLOW Input Files" for a description of input design file formats.

Note: If you specify a design name only and do not specify a flow type or option file, XFLOW defaults to the –implement flow type and fast_runtime.opt option file for FPGAs and the –fit flow type and balanced.opt option file for CPLDs.

You do not need to specify the complete path for option files. By default, XFLOW uses the option files in your working directory. If the option files are not in your working directory, XFLOW searches for them in the following locations and copies them to your working directory. If XFLOW cannot find the option files in any of these locations, it issues an error message.

Note: By default, the directory from which you invoked XFLOW is your working directory. If you want to specify a different directory, use the –wd option described in "–wd (Specify a Working Directory)".
