HDLmaker supports Synplify, Synopsys and Exemplar. Synplify has the best support, Synopsys Design Compiler and FPGA compiler are well supported, only minimal, and possibly outdated, support for Exemplar is provided. Synopsys FPGA Express is not currently supported.

 Synplify

HDLmaker creates a Synplify project file when the -synplicity switch is used.

hdlmaker -synplicity smartnic.top

creates scripts/smartnic.prj

A couple of helpful scripts are provided in HDLMAKER_LIB/csh. These are

hdl_synplicity, runs hdlmaker and then copies all of the required files into the synplicity directory

hdl_synplicity smartnic

run_synplicity, invokes Synplify in batch mode,

run_synplicity smartnic

 Synplicity Directives

There are several top file directives that are used to support Synplify. These are

#maxfan

#black_box

#synplicity

#write_verilog

#write_vhdl

#resource_sharing_off

#syn_directive

#pipe_off

 Synopsys

HDLmaker creates the required dcshell scripts and a Makefile for Synopsys. For each component of the design HDLmaker creates a dcshell script called foo.job. HDLmaker also creates a make file called design.Make.

Here is a sample .job file

TOP = fifo_sp

PART = "xcv300bg352-5"

company = "dataCentauri, Inc., Hudson, NH"

read -format verilog fifo_sp.v

uniquify

current_design TOP

remove_constraint -all

compile -map_effort high

report_fpga > fifo_sp.fpga

report_timing > fifo_sp.timing

write -format db -hierarchy -output fifo_sp.db

exit

Here is a sample Makefile

 Synopsys Directives

There are several top file directives which support Synopsys. These are,

#dont_touch

#flatten

#synopsys

#boundary_optimization

 Common Directives

These directives are used with both Synplify, Synopsys as well as the Xilinx place and route tools.

#clock

 Precision

HDLmaker creates a Mentor Precision project file (.psp) when the -precision switch is used.
