10.2. Tool Options
Sample Output from Utility
The utility is a command line program. The table describes all the command line options; and the figure shows the --help output from the tool.
Command line Argument | Required? | Description |
---|---|---|
-p filename | Optional | Specifies Preloader file to write |
-b filename | Optional | Specifies Cyclone V or Arria® V SoC Bootloader file to write |
-B filename | Optional | Specifies Intel® Arria® 10 SoC Bootloader file to write |
-a write | Required | Specifies action to take. Only "write" action is supported. Example: "-a write" |
disk_file | Required(unless -d option is used) | Specifies disk image file or physical disk to write to. A disk image file is a file that contains all the data for a storage volume including the partition table. This can be written to a physical disk later with another tool. For physical disks in Linux*, just specify the device file. For example: /dev/mmcblk0 For physical disks in Windows, specify the physical drive path such as \\.\physicaldrive2 or use the drive letter option(-d) to specify a drive letter. The drive letter option is the easiest method in Windows |
-d | Optional | specify disk drive letter to write to. Example: "-d E". When using this option, the disk_file option cannot be specified. |
-h | Optional | Displays help message and exits |
--version | Optional | Displays script version number and exits |
