Apply DIRECT_RESET on an input port or other signal to have it go directly to the RESET line of a flop when there is more than one possible reset or when you want to force the synthesis tool to use the reset lines of the flop.
- Architecture Support
- Architecture Support
- Applicable Objects
- The DIRECT_RESET attribute can be placed on any port or signal.
- Values
-
- TRUE (or YES)
- Direct synthesis to use the RESET line of a flop.
- FALSE (or NO)
- Do not direct synthesis to use the RESET line. This is the default.
Syntax
- Verilog Syntax
-
(* direct_reset = "yes" *) input rst3; - VHDL Syntax
-
entity test is port( in1 : std_logic_vector (8 downto 0); clk : std_logic; rst1, rst2, rst3 : in std_logic out1 : std_logic_vector(8 downto 0)); attribute direct_reset : string; attribute direct_reset of rst3: signal is “yes”; end test; - XDC Syntax
-
set_property direct_reset yes [get_nets –of [get_ports rst3]]
Note: For XDC usage, this attribute only works on type
net, so you need to use the
get_nets command for the object.Affected Steps
