Get a list of addr_spaces

Syntax

get_bd_addr_spaces [‑regexp] [‑hierarchical] [‑filter <arg>]
    [‑of_objects <args>] [‑quiet] [‑verbose] [<patterns>]

Returns

List of addr_space objects, "" if failed.

Usage

Name Description
[-regexp] Patterns are full regular expressions
[-hierarchical] Hierarchical cells included

[-of_objects] Get addr_spaces of these segments or interfaces
[-quiet] Ignore command errors
[-verbose] Suspend message limits during command execution
[<patterns>] Match engine names against patterns Default: *

Description

Get a list of address spaces in the current IP integrator subsystem design.

Note: To improve memory and performance, the get_* commands return a container list of a single type of objects (e.g. cells, nets, pins, or ports). You can add new objects to the list (using lappend for instance), but you can only add the same type of object that is currently in the list. Adding a different type of object, or string, to the list is not permitted and will result in a Tcl error.

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.
Note: The Tcl built-in command 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.

-hierarchical - (Optional) Get address spaces from all levels of the IP integrator subsystem design hierarchy, or current instance. Without this argument, the command will only get address spaces from the top of the design hierarchy. When using -hierarchical, the search pattern should not contain a hierarchy separator because the search pattern is applied at each level of the hierarchy, not to the full hierarchical name. For instance, searching for U1/* searches each level of the hierarchy for objects with U1/ in the name. This may not return the intended results.

Note: When used with -regexp, the specified search string is matched against the full hierarchical name, and the U1/* search pattern will work as intended.

-filter <args> - (Optional) Filter the results list with the specified expression. The -filter argument filters the list of objects returned by get_bd_addr_spaces based on property values on the objects. You can find the properties on an object with the report_property or list_property commands. In the case of the IP integrator address space object, "NAME", "RANGE" and "OFFSET" are some of the properties that can be used to filter results.

The filter search pattern should be quoted to avoid having to escape special characters. String matching is case-sensitive and is always anchored to the start and to the end of the search string. The wildcard “*” character can be used at the beginning or at the end of a search string to widen the search to include a substring of the property value.
Note: The filter returns an object if a specified property exists on the object, and the specified pattern matches the property value on the object. In the case of the "*" wildcard character, this will match a property with a defined value of "".
For string comparison, the specific operators that can be used in filter expressions are "equal" (==), "not-equal" (!=), "match" (=~), and "not-match" (!~). Numeric comparison operators <, >, <=, and >= can also be used. Multiple filter expressions can be joined by AND and OR (&& and ||). The following gets input pins that do NOT contain the “RESET” substring within their name:
get_pins * -filter {DIRECTION == IN && NAME !~ "*RESET*"}
Boolean (bool) type properties can be directly evaluated in filter expressions as true or not true:
-filter {IS_PRIMITIVE && !IS_LOC_FIXED}
-of_objects <arg> - (Optional) Get the address spaces of the specified IP integrator address segment, cell, or interface pin objects.
Note: The -of_objects option requires objects to be specified using the get_* commands, such as get_cells or get_pins, rather than specifying objects by name. In addition, -of_objects cannot be used with a search <pattern>.
-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.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

<patterns> - (Optional) Match address spaces against the specified patterns. The default pattern is the wildcard '*' which gets a list of all address spaces in the current IP subsystem design. More than one pattern can be specified to find multiple address spaces based on different search criteria.

Note: You must enclose multiple search patterns in braces {} to present the list as a single element.

Examples

The following example lists all of the address spaces in the current IP integrator subsystem design, listing one per line:

join [get_bd_addr_spaces] \n
/mdm_1/S_AXI
/microblaze_1/Data
/microblaze_1/Instruction
/microblaze_1_axi_intc/s_axi
/microblaze_1_local_memory/dlmb_bram_if_cntlr/SLMB
/microblaze_1_local_memory/dlmb_bram_if_cntlr/SLMB1
/microblaze_1_local_memory/dlmb_bram_if_cntlr/SLMB2
/microblaze_1_local_memory/dlmb_bram_if_cntlr/SLMB3
/microblaze_1_local_memory/dlmb_bram_if_cntlr/S_AXI_CTRL
/microblaze_1_local_memory/ilmb_bram_if_cntlr/SLMB
/microblaze_1_local_memory/ilmb_bram_if_cntlr/SLMB1
/microblaze_1_local_memory/ilmb_bram_if_cntlr/SLMB2
/microblaze_1_local_memory/ilmb_bram_if_cntlr/SLMB3
/microblaze_1_local_memory/ilmb_bram_if_cntlr/S_AXI_CTRL
/microblaze_1_local_memory/lmb_bram/S_1
Note: If there are no objects matching the pattern you will get a warning.

The following example returns all of the properties attached to the third in a list, or index 2, of all address spaces in the current subsystem design:

report_property -all [lindex [get_bd_addr_spaces] 2 ]
Property  Type    Read-only  Visible  Value
CLASS     string  true       true     bd_addr_space
NAME      string  false      true     /microblaze_1/Instruction
OFFSET    string  false      true
PATH      string  true       true     /microblaze_1/Instruction
RANGE     string  false      true     -1
TYPE      string  false      true
