ExternalSystemVerilogModule class abstract

Represents a Module whose definition exists outside of this framework in SystemVerilog.

This is useful for interacting with SystemVerilog modules. You can add custom behavior for how to synthesize the generated SystemVerilog as well as extend functionality with behavioral models or cosimulation.

Constructors

ExternalSystemVerilogModule({required String definitionName, Map<String, String>? parameters, String name = 'external_module'})
Constructs an instance of an externally defined SystemVerilog module.

Properties

definitionName → String
The definition name of this Module used when instantiating instances in generated code.
no setterinherited
definitionParameters → List<SystemVerilogParameterDefinition>?
A collection of SystemVerilog SystemVerilogParameterDefinitions to be declared on the definition when generating SystemVerilog for this Module if generatedDefinitionType is DefinitionGenerationType.standard.
no setterinherited
expressionlessInputs → List<String>
A list of names of inputs which should not have any SystemVerilog expressions (including constants) in-lined into them. Only signal names will be fed into these.
finalinherited
generatedDefinitionType → DefinitionGenerationType
What kind of SystemVerilog definition this Module generates, or whether it does at all.
no setterinherited
hasBuilt → bool
Indicates whether this Module has had the build method called on it.
no setterinherited
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
inOuts → Map<String, Logic>
A map from inOut port names to this Module to corresponding Logic signals.
no setterinherited
inputs → Map<String, Logic>
A map from input port names to this Module to corresponding Logic signals.
no setterinherited
internalSignals → Iterable<Logic>
An Iterable of all Logics contained within this Module which are not an input or output port of this Module.
no setterinherited
name → String
The name of this Module.
finalinherited
outputs → Map<String, Logic>
A map from output port names to this Module to corresponding Logic signals.
no setterinherited
parameters → Map<String, String>?
A map of parameter names and values to be passed to the SystemVerilog module.
final
parent → Module?
The parent Module of this Module.
no setterinherited
reserveDefinitionName → bool
If true, guarantees definitionName is maintained by a Synthesizer, or else it will fail.
finalinherited
reserveName → bool
If true, guarantees uniqueInstanceName matches name or else the build will fail.
finalinherited
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
signals → Iterable<Logic>
An Iterable of all Logics contained within this Module, including inputs, outputs, and internal signals of this Module.
no setterinherited
subModules → Iterable<Module>
An Iterable of all Modules contained within this Module.
no setterinherited
uniqueInstanceName → String
If this module has a parent, after build this will be a guaranteed unique name within its scope.
no setterinherited

Methods

addInOut(String name, Logic source, {int width = 1}) → LogicNet

inherited
addInOutArray(String name, Logic source, {List<int> dimensions = const [1], int elementWidth = 1, int numUnpackedDimensions = 0}) → LogicArray
Registers and returns an inOut LogicArray port to this Module with the specified dimensions, elementWidth, and numUnpackedDimensions named name.
inherited
addInput(String name, Logic source, {int width = 1}) → Logic
Registers a signal as an input to this Module and returns an input port that can be consumed.
inherited
addInputArray(String name, Logic source, {List<int> dimensions = const [1], int elementWidth = 1, int numUnpackedDimensions = 0}) → LogicArray
Registers and returns an input LogicArray port to this Module with the specified dimensions, elementWidth, and numUnpackedDimensions named name.
inherited
addOutput(String name, {int width = 1}) → Logic
Registers an output to this Module and returns an output port that can be driven.
inherited
addOutputArray(String name, {List<int> dimensions = const [1], int elementWidth = 1, int numUnpackedDimensions = 0}) → LogicArray
Registers and returns an output LogicArray port to this Module with the specified dimensions, elementWidth, and numUnpackedDimensions named name.
inherited
build() → Future<void>
Builds the Module and all subModules within it.
inherited
definitionVerilog(String definitionType) → String?
A custom SystemVerilog definition to be produced for this Module.
inherited
