sdx_pack Utility
The SDSoC™ tools include the sdx_pack
command line utility for creating C-Callable IP
libraries for linking RTL IP into SDSoC
applications using the sds++
system compiler.

--help |
-query-target
<type> |
|
Query supported board_family , cpu_type , and os_type of the IP. |

sdx_pack Example
sdx_pack -header count.hpp -ip ../ip/component.xml -func count \
-control AXI=S_AXI:0 -map start_value=S_AXI:in:0x8 -map return=S_AXI:out:4 -func-end \
-target-cpu cortex-a9 -target-os standalone -target-family zynq
Where the flags that are used above are defined in the table.

-query Option usage
sdx_pack -query-target <type> -ip component.xml [-target-family <board_family>] [-target-cpu <cpu_type>]
This query only supports meaningful queries instead of all possible combinations.
Only one -query-target <type>
option supported at each query.
Specifically, below is what -query-target <type>
returns. This
is consistent with the SDx™ GUI for the application
project.
-query-target family
-
It ignores all other options and returns all supported board families of the IP. This family set must be a subset of {artix7, kintex7, kintexu, kintexuplus, spartan7, virtex7, virtexu, virtexuplus, virtexuplusHBM, zynq, zynquplus}.
Note: For a family with an "a" (automotive), "q" (space) prefix, or "l" (low power) suffix, then specify the family without the prefix or suffix. For example, targetazynq
, select zynq. -query-target cpu
- It ignores all other options except
-target-family <board_family>
.- If
-target-family <board_family>
is specified, it returns all CPU types supported under this specific family. This must be a subset of {cortex-a9, cortex-a53, cortex-r5, microblaze}. - If
-target-family <board_family>
is not selected, then it returns all CPU types supported under all supported families. This must be a subset of {cortex-a9, cortex-a53, cortex-r5, microblaze} {cortex-a9, cortex-a53, cortex-r5, microblaze}.
- If
-query-target os
-
-
If
-target-cpu <cpu_type>
is specified, it returns all OS types supported under this specific CPU. This must be a subset of {linux, standalone}.If
-target-family <board_family>
is also specified, cpu_type must be a valid CPU in this specific board_family. - Else, if
-target-family <board_family>
is specified, it returns all OS types supported under this specific family. This must be a subset of {linux, standalone}. - Else, it returns all OS types supported under all supported families. This must be a subset of {linux, standalone}

-map Option Usage
In this example, the hardware name for the AXI4-Lite interface is
s_axi_AXILiteS
.
Scalars are always mapped onto AXI4-Lite interfaces:
- To map an input scalar (e.g., int a), use
-map a=s_axi_AXILiteS:in:offset
. - To map an output scalar (e.g., int *a, or int &a), use
-map a=s_axi_AXILiteS:out:offset
. - To map a return scalar (the return type can only be scalar),
use
-map return=s_axi_AXILiteS:out:offset
.
Arrays (e.g., int a[N]) can be mapped onto any type of interface. The exact interface and direction is specified by the IP.
-
To map an array onto AXI4, use
-map a=s_axi_AXILiteS:in:offset,<a_hwName>:direction
. Do not map onto AXI4 (m_axi) whencontrol none
is used. -
To map an array onto AXI4-Stream, use
-map a=<a_hwName>:direction
. - To map an array (a small, constant-size array) onto AXI4-Lite, use
-map a=s_axi_AXILiteS:in:offset
.Note: The array must be a one-dimensional array with a constant size. For example, int a[N], where N must be a constant (which can be either #define N 16 or constant int N = 16).
