Full Flow Script Introduction
Figure 1 shows the flowchart for a complete flow through the Libero toolset up to device programming. This document is organized in sections that correspond with the example script. Support files are provided in Appendix A, which allows you to run an example through the flow and supplies a basis for construction of your own batch process. This flow is specific to Libero Versions 11.4 and above, with SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2 devices.

Full Flow Script Introduction
This document uses two new Tcl commands: configure_tool and run_tool. These commands control tools
used in the flow for SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2 product families. Configure_tool sets operation and
control parameters for a tool, and run_tool starts the tool with the current parameter settings. This
document follows the two-step process of configuring the parameters of a tool, then starting it. The
information required for using these commands with a particular tool is presented in the portion of the
flow where the tool is used. As a matter of good coding practice, always specify explicitly the parameter
name and value for the command, unless the command does not have any parameter name-value pair.
Depending on parameters to default to particular values is a common source of errors that can be difficult
to troubleshoot.

Create a New Project
1 – Create a New Project
Description
Start the design creation in a new project and clean design area by removing all files from previous runs.
This script removes the log file and an old project directory (if it exists), creates the new project directory,
and sets tool profiles and library options.

Relevant Tcl commands
new_project
The new_project command creates a project directory at the specified location. You must specify the
device and package the design is targeted to, as well as the design language. Other options include
voltages, speed and temperature grades. For complete information, see the Libero User’s Guide or
online help.

Import Design Files
2 – Import Design Files
Description
Import the design source files and identify the top of the design. Import stimulus or a testbench, and then
connect the testbench with the top of the design hierarchy.
Tcl snippet
import_files
set_root
import_files
associate_stimulus
-hdl_source {./hdl/basicblock.v}
-module "BASICBLOCK::work"
-stimulus "./hdl/testbench.v"
-file "Full_flow_example/stimulus/testbench\
-mode {new}
\
-module "BASICBLOCK::work"
Relevant Tcl commands
import_files
The import_files command is used to copy a design file into the project. Many different types of files are
supported, including HDL design source files, constraints, placement, simulation, etc. The copied version
will not be associated with the original after the importation. For complete information, see the Libero
User’s Guide or online help.
link_files
The link_files command is used much like import_files, but instead of making a copy, the project directory
will contain a link to the specified file. In cases where the latest version of a file (located and maintained
outside of the Libero project) should be used, link to the file rather than import it. For complete
information, see the Libero User’s Guide or online help.
set_root
The set_root command identifies the top of your design hierarchy. For complete information, see the
Libero User’s Guide or online help.

VERIFYPOWER
VERIFYPOWER launches the power analysis tool. While it has no configuration options or parameters
that can be directly set from a Libero Tcl script, there is a rich scripting capability that can be utilized from
a separate file. For complete information about SmartPower Tcl, see the SmartPower User’s Guide.
