Platform Designer Instance Parameters script update real parameters in library components

So I can now set parameters in IP library components from the Instance Parameters instance script thanks to this:

https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Quartus-Prime-Software/Platform-Designer-Instance-Parameters-script-update-a-library/m-p/1524138/highlight/true#M79993

So what is correct method for setting real valued parameters in components from the instance script? -- for example we have only Integer and String Types but one IP library component parameter is real value MHz:

Is starting with Integer type but do some arithmetic correct:

    set_instance_parameter_value core_pll_fpll gui_reference_clock_frequency [expr [ get_parameter_value JESD204_DEVICE_CLK_HZ ] / 1000000 ]

Or is it better to use String type:

    set_instance_parameter_value core_pll_fpll gui_reference_clock_frequency [ get_parameter_value JESD204_FRAME_CLK_MHZ ]

Thanks

Steve

    Hi Steve,

    Apologize for the delayed response as we encounter technical difficulty.

    I believe that it should not matter which parameter is it defined as, either integer or strings as these are types of variables. It depends on the parameters that you want to modify. As long as you reach to the proper files required in the project.


    Hope this answers your question.

    Thank you.

    Best Regards,
