3.4.2. The --flow add_arch Flow

The --flow add_arch flow adds additional generated IP to an existing IP library directory (previously created with the --flow create_ip flow).

If you add an architecture that already exists in the IP library directory, the architecture is overwritten with newly generated RTL files.

Usage Synopsis

dla_create_ip --flow add_arch \
   --arch <path to .arch file> \
   [--ip_dir <ip_directory>]

Sample Call

dla_create_ip --flow add_arch \
   --arch $COREDLA_ROOT/example_architectures/A10_Generic.arch \
   --ip_dir ./ip

Sample Output

===============================================================
       Adding Generic_A10 to the existing IP
===============================================================

Generate file path ./ip/intel_ai_ip/Verilog/Generic_A10

===============================================================
       Finished adding Generic_A10
