2D registers

gpeyton

Hi,

I have a 2D register. Before synthesis it looks like this

module SPI
(
...
output logic [7:0] REG_DATA [7:0]
);

After synthesis it gets flattened like this:

module SPI(... REG_DATA);
...
output [63:0] REG_DATA;
I need to keep track of each 2D register name to make routing easier later, so how would I change this to synthesize into something more usable like the following?
output [7:0] REG_DATA0;
...
output [7:0] REG_DATA7;

    Hi,
    I cannot find any way of controlling the behavior of the array conversion.


    The trivial solution would be to modify your RTL code to do the output mapping yourself the way you want it.

    Other than that you can see if the solution offered here would be something that works for you:
