hdlcoder.Board class

Package: hdlcoder

Board registration object that describes SoC custom board

Description

board = hdlcoder.Board creates a board object that you use to register a custom board for an SoC platform.

To specify the characteristics of your board, set the properties of the board object.

Construction

board = hdlcoder.Board creates an hdlcoder.Board object that you can use to register a custom board for an SoC platform.

Properties

expand all

Board name, specified as a character vector. In the HDL Workflow Advisor, this name appears in the Target platform dropdown list.
