4 years agoHow to get QSYS to propagate SYSTEM_INFO GENERATION_ID value into composed component
I have created a _hw.tcl component which is a "composed" component that assembles a number of other components into the hierarchy.
One of those components happens to be the altera_avalon_sysid_qsys_hw.tcl component.
This component assigns its instance parameter "timestamp" from the SYSTEM_INFO GENERATION_ID value.
When the altera_avalon_sysid_qsys_hw.tcl component is instantiated directly in my top level QSYS file, the "timestamp" parameter is properly generated.
When that same component is instantiated via my "composing" component, the timestamp is zero.
I cannot have my componsing component "set" that parameter because it is declared as "derived".
How do I get QSYS to propagate the GENERATION_ID into the composed component?
thx,
Dave Cattley
