VHDL Properties Form

Generics specifies the property names and the corresponding VHDL types, organized as

SKILL lists, for the netlister to use when generating the entity.

The Add, Modify, and Delete buttons affect only the display of properties on the VHDL

Properties form. You must click OK or Apply to apply the changes to objects in your design.

Add displays the Add Generic form, which lets you add a new generic to the list box.

Modify displays the Modify Generic form, which lets you redefine the type and value for a generic displayed in the list box. When you select a generic in the list box before you select the command, the system fills in the form with generic information.

Delete displays the Delete Generic form, which lets you delete a specified generic from the list box. When you select a generic in the list box before you select the command, the system fills in the form with generic information.

Scalar Data Type specifies the default data type for the netlister to use when generating the entity.

Vector Data Type specifies the default data type for the netlister to use when generating vector ports and signals if no data type is specified on the pin or signal itself.
