Simplifying FPGA Complexity

Setting generics/parameters in Synopsys Synplify

Synopsys Synplify can set generics from a Tcl command or from the GUI.

Go to the menu Options > Configure VHDL Compiler. This menu has an Extract Generics button which will identify the generics and add them to the form, so you can fill in the values. Here is a screenshot.

You can still use the power of Tcl, again, as we recommend:

set_option -hdl_param -set nbits 4
set_option -hdl_param -set maxcount 10
