ABSTRACT:
A method of integrating a High-level Language (HLL) function with a Hardware Description Language (HDL) representation of a circuit design can include identifying an attribute of the HDL representation of the circuit design that is resolved at compile time and determining a value for the attribute using an HLL function when compiling the HDL representation of the circuit design.
