public class VHDLNetlister

extends Netlister

Platform-independent VHDL netlister. Creates a structural VHDL netlist of the JHDL circuit in a single file. Does not currently do anything with attributes. This is a pretty thorough revamp of the original netlister. It traverses the cell list more often, but is much easier to follow in case modifications need to be made.

Method Detail

generateFilename

public java.lang.String generateFilename(Cell c)

Generates a netlist filename.

Specified by:

generateFilename in class Netlister

Parameters:

c - the Cell to be netlisted.

Returns:

the generated filename

netlist

public void netlist(Cell c,
                    java.lang.String file)

Create a structural vhdl netlist.

Overrides:

netlist in class Netlister

Parameters:

c - top-level Cell to netlist.

file - netlist filename

expand

protected void expand(Cell currentCell,
                      NetlistWriter output)

Description copied from class: Netlister

output - the NetlistWriter to print the netlist to

header

public void header(Cell c,
                   NetlistWriter output)

Instantiates header from Netlister, prints preliminary part of netlist

Specified by:

header in class Netlister

Parameters:

c - the top-level cell

output - the output file

footer

public void footer(Cell c,
                   NetlistWriter output)

Instantiates footer from Netlister, no conclusion needed

Specified by:

footer in class Netlister

Parameters:

c - the top-level cell

output - the output file
