sc_fifo representation in ipxact

[rahulsetia]

How do we represent sc_fifo using ipxact ? It can be both a wire port or a transactional port but it seems impossible to conclude if it belongs to either of these.

Hi,

You have to use transactional port because wire port can only be used to describe binary values or vectors of binary values. If you have some code like

sc_core::sc_fifo<int> fifo(10); 
writer w("writer");
reader r("reader");
w.out(fifo);
r.in(fifo);

Then typically output port "out" in component/module writer is:
sc_core::sc_fifo_out<int> out;
This output port is a transactional port.

Similarly for input port "in" in component/module reader:
sc_core::sc_fifo_in<int> in; 

The transTypeDef/typeName value should be sc_core::sc_fifo_out and sc_core::sc_fifo_in, respectively.
The serviceTypeDef/typeName value should be int in this example (in general the template type of the fifo).

Best regards,
