Pass variables to tcl script in Xcelium

JF202503209845 6 months ago

Hello,

I'm trying to pass a Variable through a command line input in the environment, so that my tcl script can take this for its startup initialization.

xrun ... -command_that_sets_sets_a_variable -input "start_script_that_likes_to_read_a_variable.tcl" ...

The idea is that my tcl script loads different configs for SimVision depending on a string I input in the command line. That way I can simply swap out a word in my command line and Xcelium loads (for example) waveforms in a way I want/starts or not/sets breakpoints/whatever. I've tried a few options, but I either didn't understand the documentation or I've searched on the wrong end.

Kind regards
Jan

Hi Jan.

You can pass Tcl commands directly by starting the argument to -input with an "@" symbol:

xrun -input "@set my_var 123" -input my_script_that_reads_my_var.tcl

Hope this helps.
