21.4.33 sd_instantiate_hdl_core

Description

This Tcl command instantiates a HDL+ core in a SmartDesign component. HDL+ core definition must be created on a HDL module before using this command.

sd_instantiate_hdl_core -sd_name {smartdesign component name} \
                        -hdl_core_name {hdl core module name} \
                        [-instance_name {instance name}]

Arguments

ParameterTypeDescription

sd_name

string

Specifies the name of the SmartDesign component. It is mandatory.

hdl_core_name

string

Specifies the name of the HDL+ core module being instantiated in the SmartDesign component. It is mandatory.

instance_name

string

Specifies the instance name of the HDL+ core being instantiated in the SmartDesign. It is optional. By default, the instance name is <hdl_core_module_name>_<index>; (index is an automatically generated integer starting at 0 such that the instance name is unique in the SmartDesign).

Error Codes

Error CodeDescription

None

Required parameter 'sd_name' is missing.

None

Required parameter 'hdl_core_name' is missing.

None

'1' violates HDL naming rules, please specify a different name

Example

The following example instantiates a HDL+ "top" core in a "mydesign" SmartDesign component as "top_0" (by default):

sd_instantiate_hdl_core -sd_name {mydesign} \
                        -hdl_core_name {top} \
                        -instance_name {}
