Description
This tcl command instantiates a core from the catalog directly into a SmartDesign component (Direct Instantiation)without first having to create a component for the core. The file-set related to the core is generated only when theSmartDesign in which the core is instantiated is generated. The GUI equivalent of this command is not currentlysupported in Libero. To instantiate a core in a SmartDesign component in the GUI, you have to first create acomponent for the core.
sd_instantiate_core -sd_name {smartdesign component name} \
-core_vlnv {vendor:library:name:verison} \
[-instance_name {instance name}]
Arguments
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|
| sd_name | string | Specifies the name of the SmartDesign component. It is mandatory. |
| core_vlnv | string | Specifies the version identifier of the core being instantiated in the SmartDesign component. It is mandatory. |
| instance_name | string | Specifies the instance name of the core being instantiated in the SmartDesign. It is optional. By default, the instancename is <core_name>_<index> (index is an automatically generated integer starting at 0 such that the instancename is unique in the SmartDesign). |
