Read hardware SIO scan data from a file. A hardware SIO scan object will be created if not provided.

Syntax

read_hw_sio_scan [‑quiet] [‑verbose] <file> [<hw_sio_scan>]

Returns

Hardware SIO scan object.

Usage

Name	Description
`[-quiet]`	Ignore command errors
`[-verbose]`	Suspend message limits during command execution
`<file>`	hardware SIO scan file name
`[<hw_sio_scan>]`	hardware SIO scan data object Default: None

Description

Read a hardware SIO scan data file and create a hw_sio_scan object in the Hardware Manager feature of the Vivado Design Suite.

The SIO scan data can be written to disk using the write_hw_sio_scan command, after running the scan using the run_hw_sio_scan command. This command reads that data file.

If no hw_sio_scan object is specified, a new hw_sio_scan object is created and is named sequentially following any existing hw_sio_scan objects. After being read from disk, the SIO scan data can be plotted and viewed in the Vivado serial I/O analyzer by using the display_hw_sio_scan command.

This command returns a hw_sio_scan object, or returns an error if it fails.

Arguments

-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.

<file> - (Required) The name of SIO scan data file to read. If the file extension is not specified, the Vivado tool assumes an extension of .csv.

Note: If the path is not specified as part of the file name, the tool will search for the specified file in the current working directory and then in the directory from which the tool was launched.

<hw_sio_scan> - (Optional) Specify an existing hw_sio_scan object to read the scan data file into. The hw_sio_scan object can be specified by name, or as an object returned by the get_hw_sio_scans command.

Example

The following example reads the specified SIO scan data file into an existing hw_sio_scan object:

read_hw_sio_scan C:/Data/LoopBack1.csv SCAN_0
