XTWV(1)

NAME
xtwv - Xilinx Tool Wrapper script for Vivado

SYNOPSIS
xtwv [COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION
The Xilinx Vivado setup script redefines PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The Vivado tools run fine in this environment, but other installed programs on the system might fail. xtwv helps to keep the Vivado environment separate from the normal working environment. The environment variable XTWV_PATH must be set up to the install path of the Vivado version to be used. xtwv uses XTWV_PATH to locate the Vivado setup script, sources it, and execs the COMMAND. This way COMMAND is executed in the Vivado environment, while the login shell stays clean. xtwi can also set up a clean environment when BARE_PATH and BARE_LD_LIBRARY_PATH are defined.

ENVIRONMENT

BXTWV_PATH
    Install path of Vivado

BARE_PATH
    Optional. If defined xtwi will set
           export PATH=$BARE_PATH:$RETROBASE/tools/bin
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH will be unset unless BARE_LD_LIBRARY_PATH is defined too.

BARE_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    Optional. If defined xtwi will set
           export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BARE_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    Used only when BARE_PATH is defined.

FILES

$XTWV_PATH/settings32.sh
$XTWV_PATH/settings64.sh
    Vivado setup script located and sourced on 32 or 64 bit systems

NOTES
Vivado is a lot less intrusive than ISE, but it's still a good precaution to wrap calls of Vivado tools with xtwv.
If both Vivado and ISE are used xtwv and xtwi(1) offer a convenient way to have both tools available in one session without interference.

EXAMPLES

xtwv vivado -mode batch -source test.tcl
    Starts Vivado in batch mode and executes the script test.tcl.
