TCL Script to help with PL Design

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

Hi All,

I have started a TCL script that can be used as a Custom Command in PlanAhead to help users with instantiating their modules/entities into the proper modules/entities (think of this like instantiation an IP in your HDL). I have basics done on it and will continue to work on it to support parameters and generics.



Visit the GitHub repo at: https://github.com/stiggy87/source_to_inst



I always like getting feedback on it, and by all means I encourage anyone to try it out. As of right now only 2 variations of Verilog/VHDL files are support (test_1.v and test_1.vhd in the test_files directory).

    stiggy87,

    This is great!  Thanks so much for sharing your work with the community!  As it matures do post it in the projects section so people can find it easily.

    http://www.zedboard.org/projects

    I really appreciate the level of comments in your code - very nice.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks Tim!

    I have been updating it as much as possible and I should be releasing a 0.1 version in about a week.

    I will definitely add it to the Projects section and I'll write a How-To for geting it working with the Custom Commands.

    For anyone else that has TCL experience, by all means fork the project and add your own features to it, and if works I'll add it to the master branch!

    Hi all,

    I worked hard all weekend to get Verion 1.0 out the door today and a How-To for custom commands. Right now it's text based, but I plan on getting pictures up there soon.

    https://github.com/stiggy87/source_to_inst/wiki/Custom-Commands

    Please enjoy the script and I hope it helps.

    Thanks Tim!

    I've alright noticed I'm missing a use case for Verilog (so many variations on writing Verilog), so if you see any issue, please file an Issue in Github for me!

    I plan on getting screenshots of how to do it in PlanAhead tonight and how to do an init.tcl script that PlanAhead will call on startup.
