[SOLVED] libero tcl script not working

Hello all,

I don't think much of the fact that microsemi doesn't have a tcl console. However you can execute tcl scripts to apply certain functionality.

The problem I'm having at the moment is the following


The error message I'm getting

Error: The supplied name is not a valid VNLV core id:
'Actel.DirectCore.COREAXI.3.2.101'. [OK]
Error: The command 'download_core' failed.
Error: Failure when executing Tcl script. [ Line 12 ]
Error: The Execute Script command failed.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I need to ensure a user has all the correct ip when they create a new project, so the importing of the cxf will work fine. However I'm having trouble scripting the download of ip cores. I know I can download them using the catalog, but that's besides the point.

Regards,
Wes

I know Xilinx uses ':' between vlnv fields, e.g. xilinx.com:ip:fifo_generator:12.0

If that doesn't work you might want to try the individual switches.
-vendor xilinx.com -library ip -name fifo_generator -version 12.0

Regarding Libero I had to do it through the gui. Bit of a pain.

I've used the Xilinx method like you've mentioned.

Fortunately Libero has the ability to export the actions that you have done on the gui to a tcl script.

The following is what I just received

download_core -vlnv {Actel:Simulation:CLK_GEN:1.0.1} -vlnv {Actel:SimulationULSE_GEN:1.0.1} -vlnv {Actel:Simulation:RESET_GEN:1.0.1} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:HARD_MULT:1.0.100} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:HARD_MULT_ACC:1.0.100} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:HARD_MULT_ADDSUB:1.0.100} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:IO:1.0.101} -vlnv {Actel:SgCorePSRAM:1.0.101} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:URAM:1.0.101} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:TPSRAM:1.0.101} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:OSC:1.0.105} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:FDDRC:1.1.301} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:SERDES_IF:1.2.206} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:TAMPER2:2.1.300} -vlnv {Actel:SmartFusion2MSS:MSS:1.1.400} -vlnv {Actel:Simulation:SimDRAM:1.0.102} -vlnv {Actel:SgCore:FCCC:2.0.201} -location {www.actel-ip.com/repositories/SgCore}

Turns out that the ":" and "{" is the key (so much for their help guide)
