User define custom components

Description

User define custom components with HDL

The custom code feature in Sci-Compiler allows users to create their own components using Hardware Description Languages (HDL) such as Verilog or VHDL. With this feature, users have the flexibility to design and implement their own specialized components tailored to their specific needs.

When writing custom code, users define the behavior and functionality of the component using the chosen HDL. They can specify the inputs and outputs of the component through port definitions, which determine how the component interacts with the rest of the system. The custom code can include a wide range of functionality, from simple logic gates to complex modules or subsystems.

Once the custom code is written, Sci-Compiler integrates it seamlessly into the system design. The code is compiled, and a graphical representation of the component is generated as a block, allowing users to visually connect it with other components in the system. This graphical representation simplifies the design process and enables intuitive connections and interactions with other components.

By leveraging custom code, users can extend the capabilities of Sci-Compiler and create highly specialized components that meet their specific requirements. This feature empowers users to design and integrate custom logic and functionality into their projects, providing a high degree of customization and flexibility in their hardware designs.

User define custom components with sub-design

The sub-block feature in Sci-Compiler provides users with a powerful tool to create complex functionalities by combining multiple components together. It offers a way to construct custom components that may not be readily available in the standard library, allowing users to design and implement highly specialized functionality tailored to their specific needs.

Using sub-blocks, users can create intricate components by interconnecting existing components within the system. This modular approach enables the creation of complex behaviors by composing simpler building blocks. By combining components, users can leverage the functionalities and features of individual components to construct larger, more sophisticated systems.

The sub-block functionality also facilitates reusability and modularity in hardware design. Users can create sub-designs or sub-components that encapsulate a specific functionality or behavior. These sub-designs can be exported and reused in different projects, promoting a modular design approach. With a library of custom components, users can quickly assemble complex systems by leveraging pre-built sub-blocks, streamlining the design process and enhancing productivity.

By providing the capability to create custom sub-blocks and build a personal library of components, Sci-Compiler empowers users to explore and implement their unique ideas and requirements. This flexibility allows for the creation of highly customized and specialized designs that go beyond the limitations of the standard library, providing users with a comprehensive toolkit to develop advanced and tailored hardware systems.
