3.1.3. Component File Organization

A typical component uses the following directory structure where the names of the directories are not significant:

<component_directory>/

  • <hdl>/—Contains the component HDL design files, for example .v, .sv, or .vhd files that contain the top-level module, along with any required constraint files.
  • <component_name>_hw.tcl—The component description file.
  • <component_name>_sw.tcl—The software driver configuration file. This file specifies the paths for the .c and .h files associated with the component, when required.
  • <software>/ —Contains software drivers or libraries related to the component.
