Abstract
Nowadays, the object oriented technology can be met in different programming languages, also in the hardware description languages (HDLs). Unfortunately, in the last case the situation is more complicated. Popular and wide known tools do not support the object oriented technology, which has to be incorporated in designs with additional overlays. These overlays are academic solutions, or rather, it is hard to use them in real and complicated designs. So, we have developed a simply technique for building designs in the object oriented style. This technique involves well known tools of well known vendors and the set of the coding rules. The additional overlays are not needed. The presented solution was successfully tested with many projects and tools and gave very promising results. Due to lack of the space, this paper should be treated as a report rather than a detailed description.
