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.
