SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VIEWING AND MODIFYING CONFIGURABLE RTL MODULES

A configurable module editor and viewer (CMVE) reads the RTL description of a configurable module keeping track of all possible configuration options. Configuration options include pre-processor macros that are normally removed by RTL parsers. The CMVE allows users to view multiple configurations simultaneously. The CMVE assists users in editing the configurable module by presenting a simplified view of interest, while automatically propagating changes and maintaining consistency in the configurable module. The CMVE outputs updated RTL that maintains all configuration options.
