Using the Neuron Field Compiler
Command Switch
Description
Long Form
Short
Form
--library
-l
Specify a library (.lib file) to link with the application.
--mkscript
Generate a command script in a specified location.
--nodefaults
Disable processing of default command files.
--pid
-p
Use the specified program ID (in compact ASCII format
or in colon-separated format).
--silent
Suppress banner message display.
--target
-t
Specify the name of the folder that contains the
generated image files. This command switch also
defines the target name within the device template
(.NbDt file).
--warning
Display the specified message as a warning (used with
--mkscript).
--which
Display path and version information about the
specified service.
Notes:
•
For the --define switch, the preprocessor symbols _FIELD_COMPILER
and _NEURONC are already defined automatically, and do not need to
be defined using this command switch.
•
For the --include switch, specify a path for application-specific include
files (specified as #include “myFile.h”). The default search-path for
application-specific include files automatically includes the location of the
main Neuron C source file. This command switch has no effect on
system-specific include files (specified as #include <stdlib.h>).
•
For the --library switch, you can use the #pragma library directive
within your Neuron C source code, rather than this command switch, to
specify additional libraries. The #pragma library directive provides
support for location-independent library specifications and promotes self-
documenting Neuron C source code.
•
For the --target switch, you can specify the target (“Field Compiler” by
default). The target defines the name of the folder that contains the
generated image files (relative to the location of the main Neuron C
source file), and is used within the device template (.NbDt) file.
When the Neuron Field Compiler prepares the build, it automatically creates
NodeBuilder device templates, if one does not already exist. If it finds an
existing device template, the Neuron Field Compiler modifies the existing
template, as necessary.
