Passing multiple files to Hardware Compiler - References - SIMATIC AX - AX Hardware Engineering documentation - Hardware Engineering,

For all subcommands of Hardware Compiler that accept hardware declaration files via an --input parameter, this parameter can be specified multiple times.

This applies to the following commands:

• compile
• setup-secure-communication
• import-certificate
• set-accessprotection-password
• manage-users

Each --input parameter can be a path to either a file or directory.

• If the value is a file path, the specified file is included in the hardware configuration
• If the value is a directory path, all files with the extension .hwl.json in the directory are included in the hardware configuration. Files are searched recursively, so all files in the directory or any of its subdirectories are included.
