Syntax
get_hw_servers [‑regexp] [‑nocase] [‑filter <arg>] [‑quiet] [‑verbose]
[<patterns>]Returns
Hardware servers
Usage
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
[-regexp]
|
Patterns are full regular expressions |
[-nocase]
|
Perform case-insensitive matching. (valid only when -regexp specified) |
[-filter]
|
Filter list with expression |
[-quiet]
|
Ignore command errors |
[-verbose]
|
Suspend message limits during command execution |
[<patterns>]
|
Match the 'hw_server' objects against patterns. Default: * |
Description
open_hw command to open the Hardware Manager in the Vivado Design Suite before using this command.
This command returns hardware server objects that are connected to the current instance of the Vivado Design Suite through the use of the connect_hw_server command.
Hardware servers are instances of the Xilinx hardware server (hw_server) application running remotely, or on the local machine. The hardware server manages connections to a hardware target, for instance a hardware board containing a JTAG chain of one or more Xilinx devices to be used for programming and debugging your FPGA design.
This command returns a list of connected hardware server objects.
Arguments
-regexp - (Optional) Specifies that the search <patterns> are written as regular expressions. Both search <patterns> and -filter expressions must be written as regular expressions when this argument is used. Xilinx regular expression Tcl commands are always anchored to the start of the search string. You can add ".*" to the beginning or end of a search string to widen the search to include a substring. See http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html for help with regular expression syntax.
regexp is not anchored, and works as a standard Tcl command. For more information refer to http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/regexp.htm.
-nocase - (Optional) Perform case-insensitive matching when a pattern has been specified. This argument applies to the use of -regexp only.
-filter <args> - (Optional) Filter the results list with the specified expression. The -filter argument filters the list of objects returned by get_hw_servers based on property values on the hardware server objects. You can find the properties on an object with the report_property or list_property commands. In the case of the "hw_server" object, "HOST", "NAME" and "PORT" are some of the properties that can be used to filter results.
get_pins * -filter {DIRECTION == IN && NAME !~ "*RESET*"}
bool) type properties can be directly evaluated in filter expressions as true or not true: -filter {IS_PRIMITIVE && !IS_LOC_FIXED}
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config command.<patterns> - (Optional) Match hw_servers against the specified patterns. The default pattern is the wildcard '*' which gets a list of all hw_servers currently connected.
