Description
Create a new pin to add to an IP integrator hierarchical module.
This command returns the name of the newly created pin object, or returns an error message if it failed.
Arguments
-from <arg>
- (Optional) The starting index of a standard bus pin. This is unspecified for single bit pins.
-to <arg>
- (Optional) The ending index of a standard bus pin. This is unspecified for single bit pins.
-dir [ I | O | IO ]
- (Required) The direction of the pin. Valid values are I for input, O for output, and IO for bidirectional pins.
-type <arg>
- (Optional) Defines the type of the pin as a clock pin (CLK), a reset pin (RST), a clock enable pin (CE), an interrupt pin (INTR), or as a data pin (DATA). If you do not define the pin type, it will be undefined (UNDEF).
-quiet
- (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose
- (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config
command.
<name>
- (Required) The name of the subsystem pin to create. The name is referenced from the hierarchical module that the pin is being added to: /modName/pinname
.
Examples
The following example creates a new input pin on the specified module in the current IP integrator subsystem design:
create_bd_pin -dir I -type rst /newMod1/rst
/newMod1/rst
