Hello everyone,
I have a folder with many modules. I want to create a configuration file specifying which of those modules to use in my simulation. In the sc_main.cpp, before the simulation starts I would like to open my configuration file, read which modules I would like to open and then create instances, connect their ports etc
The configuration file contains all the necessary information as number of ports, type of each port , name of the module, name of the file etc.
I can easily create the signals I need but I don't know how I can create the module instance.
example of configuration file
....
ex_name_module
porta ; input ; double
portb ; output ; double
......
In the sc_main I will read the file. I will create 2 signals of type double. But then i should do something like
ex_name_module EX_NAME_MODULE("EX_NAME_MODULE");
EX_NAME_MODULE.input(sig1);
EX_NAME_MODULE.output(sig2);
One idea that I tried but it didn't work, was to create a .cpp file for each module. This file has a function containing the instance creation of the respective module. The arguments of the function were the signals created in sc_main.
So any ideas of how I can create such an instance? Thank you in advance
