IPIntegrator

Description

Move IP integrator cells into the specified hierarchical module within the current subsystem design. The connections between the cells being moved are maintained; connections between these cells and other cells that are not being moved are maintained automatically by IP integrator adding pins and ports to cross the hierarchical boundary.

Cells in the IP subsystem design can also be copied into a hierarchical module using copy_bd_objs, and can be grouped and added to a hierarchical module using group_bd_cells.

This command returns the name of the <parent_cell> module when successful, or returns an error message if it failed.

Arguments

-prefix <arg> - (Optional) A prefix name to apply to any cells that are moved into the hierarchical module.

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

<parent_cell> - The name of the hierarchical module to move cells into.

<cells> - (Optional) The list of cells, specified by the get_bd_cells command, to move from the current IP subsystem design into the hierarchical module.

Example

The following example:

move_bd_cells -prefix mod1_ /myModule1 [get_bd_cells /myAxiFifo_1]
/myModule1
