Default Naming

READY: RDY_methodname ENABLE: EN_methodname

Attribute Syntax

(* ready = "readyname", enable = "enablename" *)
method type methodname;

or

(* ready = "readyname" *)
(* enable = "enablename" *)
method type methodname;

where readyname is a string specifying the complete name for the Ready signal and enablename is a string specifying the complete name for the Enable signal. The attributes can be provided together on a single line or on separate lines; one or both may be provided. The line(s) containing the renaming attribute(s) must immediately preceed the method declaration.

BSV Example

interface Mult_ifc; 
   method int result ();
   (* ready = "start_READY", enable = "GO" *)
   method Action start(int x, int y);
endinterface: Mult_ifc
