Picking a STAPL Action (-a option)
When executing or playing a STAPL file, the user is required to choose an action to take, since
most STAPL files contain numerous actions. When using the STAPL player, the user specifies
the desired action with the -a option. For example, to program an Achronix device with a
design, the PROGRAM action is used:
acx_stapl_player -aPROGRAM
Note:
Only a single action can be specified and executed at a time.
lists the standard STAPL actions which can be found in STAPL files generated by ACE.
-p
Specifies, by name, which Bitporter pod should be utilized by the
STAPL Player. Optionally, a comma-separated list of pod names (no
spaces allowed) may be specified - the Player will use the first avail-
able named pod. If none of the specified pods are available, the pro-
gram exits with an error message.
For example, to connect to a USB-connected pod with the serial num-
ber of 40815:
-pusb40815
For an Ethernet-connected pod with the serial number of 40816 on
the same subnet as the host:
-pnet40816
For an Ethernet-connected pod not on the local subnet and at
address 192.168.1.123:
-pnet192.168.1.123
To first try usb40815, then net40816:
-pusb40815,net40816

Notes:
1. Query pod mode only autodetects Ethernet pods on the current subnet. Pods on other subnets are not
displayed during autodetection.
2. No STAPL actions are run; program exits after query.
3. No STAPL actions are run; program exits after the pod (re)configuration is complete.
