SOPC export VHDL generic to top

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 is it possible to export a VHDL-generic of a custom SOPC Component to the Top-Level of the SOPC-System (As i do with the conduit signals)? Is there a TCL-command for the coponent to do this? I dont want the generic to appear on the parameters GUI, i want to set the paramters when i instantiate the SOPC-System.  Paddy

Hi Paddy 

Use the add_parameter command in the custom component *_hw.tcl file. For example:  add_parameter my_param int 100 "parameter value"  set_parameter_property my_param DISPLAY_NAME My_parameter  set_parameter_property my_param UNITS NONE where my_param is your VHDL generic definition.  Regards

Hi Cris72, 

 thats what is in my tcl-file:  add_parameter my_nbr INTEGER 0 set_parameter_property my_nbr DEFAULT_VALUE 0 set_parameter_property my_nbr DISPLAY_NAME my_nbr set_parameter_property my_nbr TYPE INTEGER set_parameter_property my_nbr UNITS None set_parameter_property my_nbr ALLOWED_RANGES -2147483648:2147483647 set_parameter_property my_nbr AFFECTS_GENERATION false set_parameter_property my_nbr HDL_PARAMETER true  the Parameter my_nbr always appears in the component GUI and the SOPC-Builder geneates a file which wraps the VHDL-File of my component and sets the generic to the value i entered in the GUI. But i want the generic to appear at the top-level of my SOPC-System, so that my other VHDL-Code can set the parameters when i instatiate the SOPC-system.
