accessing/quering value of simple_port using Reflection API

sgor

Hi,

Is it possible to access/query the value of all the external simple_ports of a unit using reflection API?

Or is it possible to get the hdl_path() of all the external simple_port of a unit using reflection API?

I tried to search it in sn_usage.pdf document, but I could not find this info there.

 

Regards,

Sandeep.

  • Hello Sandeep,

    yes it is possible to get details from simple_ports (or from any port for that matter) using reflection.
    There is an attribute called port.full_hdl_path(), which you can query using the reflection facility. Attached
    is an example utility, which checks that the hdl path of all ports actually exists in the HDL hierarchy
    (this only works with SN+IUS). In the source code you will find that it traverses the e unit hierarchy and
    find all ports. Then it gets the relevant attribute and does some comparison. If you need some other
    details, please let me know.
