Description
This Tcl command sets synthesis attribute to the specified instance of the specified SmartDesign. The attribute is added in the HDL file at the component generation.
sd_set_inst_synth_attr \
-sd_name {SmartDesign component name} \
-instance_name {instance name} \
-attr_name {synthesis attribute name} \
-attr_value {synthesis attribute value}
Arguments
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|
| sd_name | string | This argument is used to specify the name of the SmartDesign component in which the port synthesis attribute is set. This is a mandatory argument. |
| instance_name | string | Name of the instance in SmartDesign that synthesis attribute is added to. This is a mandatory argument. |
| attr_name | string | Synthesis attribute. This is a mandatory argument. |
| attr_value | string | Value of the attribute. Some attributes do not require values. |

Example
This example sets "syn_insert_buffer" attribute with "none" value on the "COREABC_C0_0" instance in the "top" design.
sd_set_inst_synth_attr -sd_name {top} -attr_name {syn_insert_buffer} \
-attr_value {none} -instance_name {COREABC_C0_0}
