As the .rzone and .azone files are XML based, it is possible to create or modify the files in external tools without using the Interactive Mode. To generate output files the CMSIS-Zone Utility can be started in headless mode. The command line format is:

eclipsec.exe -noSplash -consoleLog –launcher.suppressErrors -application com.arm.cmsis.zone.ui.headlessgen -azone FILENME.azone -ftl FTL_DIR -ftl_gen FTL_GEN_DIR
