Chapter 4 – Using the Achronix STAPL Player
Introduction
The Achronix STAPL Player (
axc_stapl_player.exe
) takes the bitstream output of the
Achronix CAD Environment (ACE) in STAPL format, and then runs (or plays) the STAPL
program. The program causes the Bitporter pod to pass these commands to the JTAG port of
an Achronix FPGA. The STAPL player executable is run from a Windows or Linux command
prompt.
Command Syntax
The STAPL player command syntax is:
acx_stapl_player [options] [filename]
The available command options are listed in Table 4-1 .
Note:
The option names are not case sensitive.
