2.1.1.8. Target Script

The target script instantiates the system component (system), provides the CLI runtime commands, creates the network configuration, and defines the user-configurable parameters propagated to other components when they are instantiated.

This script is an Intel® Simics® CLI script named agilex5e-universal.simics. The runtime commands in the target script include displaying some system information, such as:

  • object hierarchy
  • HPS memory map
  • status of the CPUs
  • status of the components:
    • system (system)
    • board (system.board)
    • fpga (system.board.fpga)
    • hps (system.board.fpga.soc_inst.hps_subsys.agilex_hps)

For a list of parameters defined in the target script, refer to Intel Agilex 5 E-Series Universal Virtual Platform User-Configurable Parameters. For information about the network configuration performed by the target script, refer to Basic Ethernet.
