As described in Launching the New Vitis Unified IDE, the Vitis Unified IDE supports an interactive mode that lets you enter commands through the command-line interface (CLI) of a Python command shell. You can launch the tool in interactive mode as follows:
vitis -new -i
The Vitis command-line prompt is displayed:
Vitis [1]:
Note: Type
help()
or
help(vitis)
from the interactive command prompt to
explore the available command modules. As described in Running Scripts in Batch Mode, CLI examples can be found at <Vitis_Installation_Dir>/cli/examples
directory.
There are also examples of command-line use provided in Command-line to Create an Embedded Application Component or Platform Component Command Line Flow.
The following topics describe some of the features of the Vitis Python command shell.
