Foundation Project Manager - How to add command line options to Templates for Implementing programs



Problem Description:
urgency: standard

general description: How do I add command line options to the
implementation programs such as map.exe, par.exe, etc.


Solution 1:

From the Project Manager do the following :
1. Select the "Tool" menu.
2. Select the "Utilities Option"
3. Select "Implementation Template Manager"

In the new window that appears :
1. Select the appropriate device family from the "Family" drop down list box
2. Select "Implementation Templates" from the choice of templates
3. Select the Default template, or you can create your own.
4. Click the customize button

In the new window that appears:
1. Type in the program name in the "Program Name line"
     *Do not include the extension, e.g. "PAR.EXE" should be typed in as just "PAR"
2 Type in the command line option in the "Program Options" field
3. Click "Set"
4. Click "OK"

Finally return to the Project Manager and Implement your design. Monitor the Flow log to ensure that the option you wanted is used. If it is not there, an entry error may have occurred and you should recheck the Template Manager to ensure the option is there and is correctly typed in and attached to the correct program
