'TopEntity' annotations allow us to control hierarchy and naming aspects of the
Clash compiler. We have the 'Synthesize' and 'TestBench' annotation.
=== 'Synthesize' annotation
The 'Synthesize' annotation allows us to:
* Assign names to entities (VHDL) \/ modules ((System)Verilog), and their
ports.
* Put generated HDL files of a logical (sub)entity in their own directory.
* Use cached versions of generated HDL, i.e., prevent recompilation of
(sub)entities that have not changed since the last run. Caching is based
on a @.manifest@ which is generated alongside the HDL; deleting this file
means deleting the cache; changing this file will result in /undefined/
behavior.
Functions with a 'Synthesize' annotation must adhere to the following
restrictions:
* Although functions with a 'Synthesize' annotation can of course depend
on functions with another 'Synthesize' annotation, they must not be
mutually recursive.
* Functions with a 'Synthesize' annotation must be completely /monomorphic/
and /first-order/, and cannot have any /non-representable/ arguments or
result.
Also take the following into account when using 'Synthesize' annotations.
* The Clash compiler is based on the GHC Haskell compiler, and the GHC
machinery does not understand 'Synthesize' annotations and it might
subsequently decide to inline those functions. You should therefor also
add a @{\-\# NOINLINE f \#-\}@ pragma to the functions which you give
a 'Synthesize' functions.
* Functions with a 'Synthesize' annotation will not be specialized
on constants.
Finally, the root module, the module which you pass as an argument to the
Clash compiler must either have:
* A function with a 'Synthesize' annotation.
* A function called /topEntity/.
You apply 'Synthesize' annotations to functions using an @ANN@ pragma:
@
{\-\# ANN f (Synthesize {t_name = ..., ... }) \#-\}
f x = ...
@
For example, given the following specification:
@
module Blinker where
import Clash.Prelude
import Clash.Intel.ClockGen
type Dom50 = Dom \"System\" 20000
topEntity
:: Clock Dom50
-> Reset Dom50
-> Signal Dom50 Bit
-> Signal Dom50 (BitVector 8)
topEntity clk rst key1 =
let (pllOut,pllStable) = 'Clash.Intel.ClockGen.altpll' (SSymbol @ "altpll50") clk rst
rstSync = 'Clash.Signal.resetSynchronizer' pllOut ('Clash.Signal.unsafeToAsyncReset' pllStable)
in 'Clash.Signal.exposeClockResetEnable' leds pllOut rstSync
where
key1R = 'Clash.Prelude.isRising' 1 key1
leds = 'Clash.Prelude.mealy' blinkerT (1,False,0) key1R
blinkerT (leds,mode,cntr) key1R = ((leds',mode',cntr'),leds)
where
-- clock frequency = 50e6 (50 MHz)
-- led update rate = 333e-3 (every 333ms)
cnt_max = 16650000 -- 50e6 * 333e-3
cntr' | cntr == cnt_max = 0
| otherwise = cntr + 1
mode' | key1R = not mode
| otherwise = mode
leds' | cntr == 0 = if mode then complement leds
else rotateL leds 1
| otherwise = leds
@
The Clash compiler would normally generate the following
@blinker_topentity.vhdl@ file:
@
-- Automatically generated VHDL-93
library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;
use IEEE.NUMERIC_STD.ALL;
use IEEE.MATH_REAL.ALL;
use std.textio.all;
use work.all;
use work.blinker_types.all;
entity blinker_topentity is
port(-- clock
input_0 : in std_logic;
-- asynchronous reset: active high
input_1 : in std_logic;
input_2 : in std_logic_vector(0 downto 0);
output_0 : out std_logic_vector(7 downto 0));
end;
architecture structural of blinker_topentity is
begin
blinker_topentity_0_inst : entity blinker_topentity_0
port map
(clk => input_0
,rst => input_1
,key1 => input_2
,result => output_0);
end;
@
However, if we add the following 'Synthesize' annotation in the file:
@
{\-\# ANN topEntity
('Synthesize'
{ t_name = "blinker"
, t_inputs = [ PortName \"CLOCK_50\"
, PortName \"KEY0\"
, PortName \"KEY1\" ]
, t_output = PortName \"LED\"
}) \#-\}
@
The Clash compiler will generate the following @blinker.vhdl@ file instead:
@
-- Automatically generated VHDL-93
library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;
use IEEE.NUMERIC_STD.ALL;
use IEEE.MATH_REAL.ALL;
use std.textio.all;
use work.all;
use work.blinker_types.all;
entity blinker is
port(-- clock
CLOCK_50 : in std_logic;
-- asynchronous reset: active high
KEY0 : in std_logic;
KEY1 : in std_logic_vector(0 downto 0);
LED : out std_logic_vector(7 downto 0));
end;
architecture structural of blinker is
begin
blinker_topentity_inst : entity blinker_topentity
port map
(clk => CLOCK_50
,rst => KEY0
,key1 => KEY1
,result => LED);
end;
@
Where we now have:
* A top-level component that is called @blinker@.
* Inputs and outputs that have a /user/-chosen name: @CLOCK_50@, @KEY0@, @KEY1@, @LED@, etc.
See the documentation of 'Synthesize' for the meaning of all its fields.
=== 'TestBench' annotation
Tell what binder is the 'TestBench' for a 'Synthesize'-annotated binder.
So in the following example, /f/ has a 'Synthesize' annotation, and /g/ is
the HDL test bench for /f/.
@
f :: Bool -> Bool
f = ...
{\-\# ANN f (defSyn "f") \#-\}
{\-\# ANN f (TestBench \'g) \#-\}
g :: Signal Bool
g = ...

-- , t_inputs = [ PortName \"a\"
-- , PortName \"b\" ]
-- , t_output = PortName \"res\" }) \#-\}
-- f :: Int -> T -> (T,Bool)
-- f a b = ...
-- @
--
-- we get:
--
-- @
-- entity f is
-- port(a : in signed(63 downto 0);
-- b : in f_types.t;
-- res : out f_types.tup2);
-- end;
-- @
--
-- If we want to name fields for tuples/records we have to use 'PortProduct'
--
-- @
-- {\-\# ANN topEntity
-- (Synthesize
-- { t_name = "f"
-- , t_inputs = [ PortName \"a\"

-- @
