The Torii API reference is a work in progress and we are actively working on improving it, however it may be deficient or missing in places.

exception torii.hdl.ir.DriverConflict

class torii.hdl.ir.Instance(type, *args, **kwargs)

Allows for the direct instantiation of external modules, cells, or primitives.

It accepts the name of the object to instantiate and a collection of keyword arguments that define the ports, attributes, and parameters to it.

It is defined by a prefix followed by the canonical name of the element the value is setting. For instance, if you have a cell called dff with ports named CLK, D, and Q you are able to instantiate it as follows:

dff = Instance(
        'dff',
        i_D   = sig_in,
        i_CLK = clk,
        o_Q   = sig_out,
)

The meaning of the prefix for the arguments are as follows:

Prefix	Corresponding Type
a_	Attribute
p_	Parameter
i_	Input Port/Signal
o_	Output Port/Signal
io_	Bi-directional Port/Signal

Parameters:

type (str) – The name/type of object to instantiate
