DESCRIPTION

flatbeh synthetize a VHDL behavioral data-flow description from a structural description. It flattens the structural description (it can be a hierarchy of macro block) until the cells which have a behavioral description. Then it raise all the equations and create a behavioral description of the root file.

PARAMETERS

root_structural_file is the filename of the root of the structural description file.

output_file is the destination filename for behavioural description.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

list of directories containing descriptions. The default path is the current directory (see mbk(1)).
Indicates the file where the behavioral description files are given. This serves to flatbeh to stop the flatten of the structural root circuit.(see mbk(1))
file extension for structural entity. (see mbk(1))
