Vivado synthesis has the following limitations when instantiating a VHDL design unit in a Verilog module:

The only VHDL construct that can be instantiated in a Verilog design is a VHDL entity. No other VHDL constructs are visible to Verilog code. Vivado synthesis uses the entity-architecture pair as the Verilog-VHDL boundary.

Use explicit port association. Specify formal and effective port names in the port map.

All parameters are passed at instantiation, even if they are unchanged.

The override is named and not ordered. The parameter override occurs through instantiation, not through defpas .
