SVEditor Projects

A project in SVEditor terms is defined as a collection of files that work together. A project could be:

A piece of RTL
A piece of testbench code
An entire module, with RTL and testbench

Generally it is something that you would simulate.

Creating an SVEditor Project

This topic has been covered extensively in the tutorials section. Please refer to this for more details.

Opening Project Properties

You can open the project properties page from the Project Explorer window. Inside this page you will see a number of tabs.

Resource - Used to identify variables, include or exclude specific file types etc.
Builders - TODO
Project References - TODO
Run / Debug Settings - TODO
SystemVerilog Project Properties - Contains items needed to index (compile) the SVEditor project
Task Repository - TODO
WikiText - TODO

Resource

The resource page has 2 tabs:

Path Variables - Used to define environment variables
Linked Resources - TODO

Path Variables

Path variables are fairly commonly used in design flows. These are typically used to reference paths outside of a given user sandbox. Variables can be created using the "New" button.

System Verilog Project Properties

The System Verilog Project Properties section of the project properties has 4 tabs:

Argument Files - This section defines that argument file(s) required to build a project
Global Defines - This section is the equivalent of adding a define on your compiler command line
Template Paths - TODO
Pre-Packaged Libs - TODO

Argument Files

This section of the project contains a list of all the argument file(s) that your project will use. A typical argument file contains

a list of all files
- somefile.sv
will reference other argument files
- -f another_argument_file.f
List of include directories
- +incdir+path/to/inc/dir

Argument files can be added using the "Add" button, or directly from the Project Explorer window by right clicking on the argument file and selecting Add argument file to project

Global Defines

This section can be used to add defines to the index (compile) section. Typically these switches are used during compilation to include or exclude certain pieces of code that are `ifdef'ed out, or to parameterize code on the command line. The command line will often include +define+SOMEDEFINE.

These definitions can be added here.
