IMPORT_COMPONENT

Import_component API in coreassembler supports reading an RTL file as a component (instead of coreKit). But this API is very preliminary and doesn't support compiler directives (+define+SOMETHING).

e.g.:

import_component -component <module_name> -files <List of RTL files> -name <Instance name> -language <systemverilog>

Adding compiler directive

To add and/or view the compiler directives (macros/params) use the following:

set_activity_parameter LoadDesigns CompilerDefines "+define+SIMONLY"

To check available params using:

set act [find_item -type Activity LoadDesigns]

set children [get_children $act -type param]

foreach_in_collection child $children {

echo "Param: [get_attribute -attr Name $child ]"

}

Param: AnalyzeSubsetOfFiles

Param: VhdlVersion

Param: InputFileNames

Param: PreventDesignPrefix

Param: CompileDefines

....

Extract all parameter of a component

set_current_component <...Hierarchical path to component...>

foreach_in_collection list [get_attribute <component_inst_name> -attr Parameters] {

set paramList [get_object_name $list]

set paramListSplit [split $c "/"]

lassign $paramListSplit comp_name param_name

set param_val [get_configuration_parameter -component $comp_name $param_name]

echo "$comp_name -- $param_name -- $param_val"

}
