Searching a Design File
When you specify a design file without a path or type, XPP scans the
search path for a matching file. To specify a search path, set up the
XACT environment as follows:
setenv XACT dir1:dir2:dir3
First, XPP scans for file types in the following order:
●
name.bit
●
name.mcs
●
name.tek
●
name.exo
Next, XPP scans for the complete file name in the following order:
●
current directory
●
data subdirectory
●
designs subdirectory
●
msg subdirectory
●
next directory in the search path
Search path is disabled as the default. XPP only scans the current
directory and its subdirectories. To enable the search path, enter the
following command at the XPP prompt:
set use_path on
XPP Profile
The xpp.pro file stores the parameters set up in the current XPP
session. XPP loads these stored parameters for the next session. XPP
searches xpp.pro file using the same search path as a design file. To
set up the HW112 PROM Programmer the first time, follow these
steps:
1. Connect the HW112 Programmer to a serial port on your
workstation and turn the power on.
Note: You can connect the HW112 to your workstation while your
system is on.
