VHDL-Generics appeareing as "#define" in system.h

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 is there a way to propagate hardwareparameters of Avalon-Components to system.h  SOPC-Builder provides possibility to set values of generics, used in component's top level VHDL-files during instantiation of compoents. How can the value, chosen within SOPC-Builder be propagated to e.g. system.h?  For my current projects i always have to make sure, that chosen generics match '#defines' for software projects.   THX Josef

Did you ever get this to work? I would like to be able to do this.

I realised I was trying to do something a bit different to the just getting a generic because my generic was set-able by the user. 

The answer to my problem was to edit the hw.tcl file with the following  set_module_assignment embeddedsw.CMacro.TX_ARBITERLOCK [get_parameter_property allow_tx_arbiterlock HDL_PARAMETER] set_module_assignment embeddedsw.CMacro.RX_ARBITERLOCK [get_parameter_property allow_rx_arbiterlock HDL_PARAMETER]  Hope this helps someone one day, Rich

ok, all that did was say whether the items were HDL parameters. I needed to add a validation callback in the tcl file e.g.  

 set_module_property VALIDATION_CALLBACK validate  then at the bottom define the function  proc validate {} {  set_module_assignment embeddedsw.CMacro.TX_ARBITERLOCK [get_parameter_value allow_tx_arbiterlock] set_module_assignment embeddedsw.CMacro.RX_ARBITERLOCK [get_parameter_value allow_rx_arbiterlock] } which does seem to work
