How You Can Override Included Application References
To enable you to develop with included applications from the database and then easily switch to shared images for deployment, OpenROAD provides the “-i” flag with the MakeImage utility to override the included application references.
For more information, see Parameters for the MakeImage Utility.
How You Can Use an Override File
When the root application is imaged, you can use an override file to modify the included application references when using the MakeImage utility.
You specify an override file using the “-i” flag with the MakeImage utility. For more information, see Parameters for the MakeImage Utility.
The file should contain one line for each included application reference to be overridden. Each line has the same format as the basic included application reference:
appname [version_number] [image_filename] [-ifilename]
For each appname referenced by the root application, if there is a line for that appname in the override file, that line temporarily replaces the existing reference in the root application. Use zero (0) for the version_number to indicate that the current working version is to be used.
