Generating this kind of package script from SOPC builder means that I would need to get settings from each of the instances that I have instantiated

and then generate a single package file to support all the entered values.

Is there any way to do this in the current TCL framework used for SOPC builder? I mean within the _hw.tcl file?

As far as I know, I can only get values from the component that is currently being edited within the SOPC builder GUI, and then generate VHDL accordingly. How can I get user set parameters from all instances of a given component type?

In other words:

I set all of the settings on my custom_component1 GUI.

I then instantiate custome_component2 and set its parameters from within the GUI.

Now how do I take the settings from each of these instances to generate the package? I am not sure if there is any way to do this given the limited functionality of the SOPC builder TCL API.
