Parameters in blocks

[Jesus89]

The idea is to generate graphic blocks with upper pins to connect "Constant" blocks

For example,

1. Add a code block with parameters "N,B"

2. Connect two constant blocks with values 22 and 0 to the code block N and B connections.

3. Export the project as a block

Then all the code blocks are parsed and a "parameters" list generated and included in the block.iceb file.

"parameters": [
  {
    "name": "N",
    "value: "22",
    "default": "22"
  },
  {
    "name": "B",
    "value: "0",
    "default": "0"
  }
] 

4. Import the block.iceb file in a new project

The block appears with the upper pins "N,B".

5. Edit the parameters.

Add and connect two Constant blocks N and B and write the values 23, 1.

6. Save the project

These new values are updated in the project.ice file ("parameters" list).

7. Build the project

The verilog compiler adds the parameters into the corresponding modules.

modtype #(
     .N(23),
     .B(1)) modname (...)
