Using the HDL Workflow Advisor Window

The following figure shows the top-level view of the HDL Workflow Advisor. The left pane lists the folders in the HDL Workflow Advisor hierarchy. Each folder represents a group or category of related tasks.

Expanding the folders shows available tasks in each folder. The following figure shows the expanded Prepare Model For HDL Code Generation folder, with the Check Global Settings task selected.

From the left pane, you can select a folder or an individual task. The HDL Workflow Advisor displays information about the selected folder or task in the right pane.

The content of the right pane depends on the selected folder or task. For some tasks, the right pane contains simple controls for running the task and a display area for status messages and other task results. For other tasks (for example, setting code or test bench generation parameters), the right pane displays many parameter and option settings.

When you right-click a folder or an individual task in the left pane, a context menu appears. The context menu lets you:

  • Select a task or a group of tasks to run sequentially.

  • Reset the status of one or more tasks to Not Run. Resetting status enables you to rerun tasks.

  • View context-sensitive help (CSH) for an individual task.
