Arguments

∙-Falcon

An optional switch that invokes FlexTest in Falcon mode, which means the tool has dependencies on the Falcon Framework. The Falcon version supports reading in EDDM designs and writing out WDB waveform formats.

∙design_name

A required string that specifies the pathname of the design on which to invoke. The design must be in the format that you specify by using one of the following switches: -EDDM, -EDIF, -TDL, -VERILOG, -VHDL, -GENIE or -SPICE.

∙-EDDM

A switch that specifies that design_name is in EDDM format. You must invoke on the Falcon version of FlexTest in order to read in EDDM designs.

∙-I -Sroot_name

An optional switch or switch and string pair that specifies the component interface or a symbol that you want FlexTest to use as the root design for EDDM-based designs. The default is the interface (-I).

You can only use these switches if you invoke on the Falcon version of FlexTest with an EDDM-based design.

∙-EDIF

A switch specifying that design_name is a netlist in EDIF format. This is the default format, unless you invoke FlexTest using the -Falcon switch.

∙-TDL

A switch that specifies that design_name is a netlist in TDL format.
