Entity conflict postfix

Text to resolve duplicate module names

Model Configuration Pane: Global Settings / General

Description

Specify the text as a character vector to resolve duplicate VHDL® entity, Verilog® or SystemVerilog module names in generated code.

Settings

_block (default) | character vector

Default: _block

The specified postfix resolves duplicate VHDL entity, Verilog or SystemVerilog module names.

For example, if HDL Coder™ detects two entities with the name MyFilter, the code generator names the first entity MyFilter and the second entity MyFilter_block.

Tips

To set this property, use the functions hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use the function hdlget_param.

For example, you can specify this property when you generate HDL code for the symmetric_fir subsystem inside the sfir_fixed model using either of these methods.

  • Pass the property as an argument to the makehdl function.

    makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir', ... 
        'EntityConflictPostfix','_entity')

  • When you use hdlset_param, you can set the parameter on the model and then generate HDL code using makehdl.

    hdlset_param('sfir_fixed','EntityConflictPostfix','_entity')
makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir')

Recommended Settings
