Mixed VHDL and Verilog question

[marcoa.castellon]

Hello everyone.

Would someone please provide an answer to the following "simple"
question?

How do you override the default value of the parameters of a Verilog
module when you instantiate such a module in a VHDL top-level entity
or testbench?

Would the use of "generic map" work?

Thank you.

With a text editor.

Would the use of "generic map" work?

I can't imagine how.

Simple question -> complex ansewer.

Would the use of "generic map" work?

It will depend on the tools. All of the EDA SW I test, will correctly pass
a vhdl generic mapping to a verilog parameter. If it doesn't the tool has
a bug. Some tools will even support generaic maping inside of a
configuration statement to overide verilog parameters. My best advice is
try it with your software. If it doesn't work file a bug. They may come
back and give you a work around.
