Grouping Modules

[Kartik Prabhu]

Hello,

I have a question regarding grouping of modules into a submodule. 

If I have the following:
class Block extends Module {

   ...

}

class Top extends Module {

   val blockA = Module(new Block)

   val blockB = Module(new Block)

   val blockC = Module(new Block)

}

This will generate a hierarchy like the following:
Top
   Top.blockA
   Top.blockB
   Top.blockC

Suppose I want to group blockA and blockB into a new Module, and instead want a hierarchy like:
Top

   Top.subblock
     Top.subblock.blockA
     Top.subblock.blockB

   Top.blockC

Is there an easy way to accomplish this without having to manually create new classes for each grouping that I want? I looked at group() but this only works with Data, not with Module.

Modules, which are Scala classes, are the tool to structure your circuit in modules/components. This is very much the same as you use classes in Java/Scala to structure your program. What else would you like to do?

Cheers,

Martin
