Hello, I have defined one class "Class A" and when creating instances of that class e.g. A* instA1 = new A (); I want to attach the instA1 object to an sc_in port of my SystemC module as an attribute of that port. - Can I use for that purpose the add_attribute function? - How safe is that? - Are there any other recommended mechanisms (as alternatives)? Thanks.

I have a class with an sc_event which should be readable and writeable through getter and setter methods. class IntWithEvent { private: sc_event _ev_wr; sc_event _ev_trigger; public: const sc_event& get_write_event() const { return _ev_wr; } const sc_event& get_trigger_event() const { return _ev_trigger; } void set_trigger_event(sc_event &ev) const { _ev_trigger = ev; // E0349 no operator "=" matches these operands } } Writing the getters was no problem. However the setter throws me an error of no matching assignment operator. Do I need to store a pointer to a sc_event and then set the pointer to the address of the parameter? It doesn't give me compile errors like this. class IntWithEvent { private: sc_event _ev_wr; sc_event *_ev_trigger; public: const sc_event& get_write_event() const { return _ev_wr; } const sc_event& get_trigger_event() const { return *_ev_trigger; } void set_trigger_event(sc_event *ev) { _ev_trigger = ev; } } I was taught to avoid pointers where I can. Is there a way to avoid the pointers?

Hi, I am working on IPXACTS -RTL representation. I have seen the following in one of my IPXACTS, where parameters are defined. I have a question regarding this value representation in this above IPXACT. Is this valid as per the standards? And does this mean, in RTL, the following: parameter [0:0] RD_ADDR_INI_PIPE_STAGE [NUM_CORE_INI-1:0] = '{1,1}

Hi, I have a question related to appropriate CCI usage in case of composite IP with top-level configuration parameters. Let's imagine we have a composite IP A that consists of IP B and C, making the A a composite IP, since it consists of multiple IPs. Now let's imagine IP B and C have clock frequency parameter associated. The name of parameter in IP A is clk_frequency and the name of parameter in IP B is clock_frequency. For a sake of better user experience let's image that IP A (a top level one, aggregating B and C) wants to provide a convince top level parameter named clk_freq to manipulate the value of two underlying parameters. And value of clk_freq parameter is not used in the IP A. Acc to example 11 provided in the CCI package a value of multiple parameters can be synchronized using the post write callback mechanism. So this approach can be used for synchronizing values of clk_frequency parameter of IP A with value of clock_frequency parameter of IP B. It's not particularly clear to me what is the best way to implement a top-level convenience parameter in A. The most straight forward way seems to be to implement a regular CCI parameter (cci::cci_param<T> param_name;) at IP A level and synchronize with one of the parameters of B or C. Such an approach seems to involve quite some coding, also a "dummy" parameter have to be created, since clk_freq parameter is not used in the IP A. So it makes me wonder if there is a more appropriate way how this functionality can be achieved. Maybe it's possible to create a handle at a level of IP A and somehow expose it to external configurator? Also that would be interesting to know if it's possible to hide parameters of IP B and C from external configurator. I am pretty sure that described use-case scenario was considered during CCI creation and I am simply missing some obvious point here. I'd appreciate any inputs you can provide to help me to understand what is the most appropriate way to implement that. Thanks.

Hello, I've been trying to instantiate (if I'm not mistaken) an array of submodules that were created using sc_vector. So far, I've followed the recommendations for using custom creator functions, but I'm kind of lost at how to actually make it work. Especially with sc_bind, which keeps returning me errors. The module master houses an array of ports that will be connected to a corresponding number of slaves. Order of connection does not matter. I'm using MSVC++ 10. The code is as follows: class top : public sc_module { //Submodule declarations master master_i; sc_vector<slave> slave_i; public: // Constructor top( sc_module_name module_name , int k ) : sc_module( module_name ) , master_i("master"), slave_i("slave") { slave_i.init(N_SLAVE, sc_bind(&top::create_slave, this, sc_unnamed::_1, sc_unnamed::_2)("slave",k)); sc_assemble_vector(slave_i, &slave::target_port).bind(master_i.initiator_port); } The creator function, which is a member of the class top, is as follows: static slave* top::create_slave(const char* name, size_t idx) { slave* s = new slave(name,1); // Hardcoding not intended; it's just to get it to // compile return s; } slave class constructor prototype: slave( sc_module_name module_name , int k ); Errors that I have so far: 1>c:\systemc\systemc-2.3.1\src\sysc\packages\boost\bind.hpp(63): error C2825: 'F': must be a class or namespace when followed by '::' 1> c:\systemc\systemc-2.3.1\src\sysc\packages\boost\bind\bind_template.hpp(15) : see reference to class template instantiation 'sc_boost::_bi::result_traits<R,F>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> R=sc_boost::_bi::unspecified, 1> F=slave *(__cdecl *)(const char *,size_t) 1> ] 1> c:\users\khairul\dropbox\cours\systemc\examples\source\11\master_slave\top.h(32) : see reference to class template instantiation 'sc_boost::_bi::bind_t<R,F,L>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> R=sc_boost::_bi::unspecified, 1> F=slave *(__cdecl *)(const char *,size_t), 1> L=sc_boost::_bi::list3<sc_boost::_bi::value<top *>,sc_boost::arg<1>,sc_boost::arg<2>> 1> ] Any ideas? Thanks,

There are a number of bit width parameters declared in the my top module. These parameters are passed to the DUT instance and parameterized interface instances. How can I also pass these parameter values to the sequence items, so that the bit widths of the sequence item fields correspond to the bit widths of the interface fields?
