The following example shows the advanced use of module templates consisting of multiple files.

  • The file central_module_template.hwl.json defines templates for central modules.
  • The file gsd_module_templates.hwl.json defines templates for modules based on GSD.

These two files can be in different locations and are passed to the Hardware Compiler as additional --input parameters. The two template files are then used in devices.hwl.json to create the configuration.
