howto create an impact batch script with .bit and .srec to generate .mcs

[guinnesstrinker]

I have a design (Spartan6, PlanAhead 14.7, MicroBlaze) and would like to create a script for creating a .mcs for a SPI-prom that includes

- download.bit (system.bit + bootloader.elf) <- merging is done

- application.srec <- conversion .elf to .srec is done

download.bit and application.srec are located in subdirectory "mcs".

filename.mcs should be written in subdirectory "mcs".

Doing this with the Impact-GUI is no problem.

Starting address of the application inside the prom  is 0x40b000.

This does not work. (download.bit file is put to address 0x40b000)

Why????

impact -batch impact.cmd

---------------------------------------------

impact.cmd:

setMode -pff
setSubmode -pffspi

addConfigDevice  -name "filename" -path "mcs"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr multibootBpiType -value ""
setAttribute -configdevice -attr compressed -value "FALSE"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr compressed -value "FALSE"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr autoSize -value "FALSE"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr fileFormat -value "mcs"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr fillValue -value "FF"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr swapBit -value "FALSE"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr dir -value "UP"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr multiboot -value "FALSE"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr multiboot -value "FALSE"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr spiSelected -value "TRUE"
setAttribute -configdevice -attr spiSelected -value "TRUE"


addPromDevice -p 1 -size 16384 -name 16M

addDesign -version 0 -startaddress 0x0
addDeviceChain -index 0
addDevice -p 1 -file "mcs/download.bit"

addDesign -version 0 -startaddress 0x40b000
addDeviceChain -index 1
addDevice -p 1 -file "mcs/application.srec"

generate
quit

What is the error you are finding?

[guinnesstrinker]

The whole impact.cmd is working fine, if you remove this block:

----------------

addDesign -version 0 -startaddress 0x40b000
addDeviceChain -index 1
addDevice -p 1 -file "mcs/application.srec"

----------------

This means I am able to create a filename.mcs that contains the download.bit file in subfolder mcs.

I am not able to tell Impact (via batch) that I want to add a "Non-Configuration Data file" application.srec (and not a second .bit).

Doing this using the GUI is easy (see screenshots)

Check the commands populated in the IMPACT console while you add non-configuration data file to .mcs file. You can use the same commands in batch mode.

That's what I did.

Btw. you can find this __impact.log and a __impact.cmd in

e:\Xilinx\14.7\ISE_DS\ISE\

(see attachment)

It doesn't really help ;-(
