Want to assign a variable for a "string parameter" of veriloga block

fatcat1206 over 9 years ago

Hi All

In a veriloga block, I define a "string" parameter (test_mode)

When instantiate this veriloga block, I want to assign a variable (testMode) for this "string" parameter.

Then I can use this variable in the ADEXL.

However, when generating the netlist, the "variable" itself has been consider as the value for the veriloga "string" parameter.

below is part of the netlist for defining the parameter for the veriloga block

test_mode="testMode"

The problem is clear, the quotation mark makes the variable to be a string value.

Does anyone knows a solution for this?

Best Regards

Hi All

I have found a solution inside the community

http://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/92/t/27120

below is the content of that post, thanks Soner for the solution, it also works at my place

"Here is a workaround:

1) Ensure that the parameter is defined in the CDF as parseAsCEL=yes

2) Edit object properties of the instance, type pPar("myVariable")

myVariable shows up as a design variable in ADE XL."
