how to create loop in RDL where the LIMIT is set regfile parameter

[assadk-g]

tried the below code .. seems it is not working

regfile block_regfile#(
       longint unsigned LIMIT = 10
){

  <% for( $i = 0 ; $i < **LIMIT**; $i += 1 ) { %> 
      reg {
               field { desc = "csr_register: <%=$i%> ";
                sw = rw; hw = rw; } value[31:0] = 32'h0;
             } csr_register<%=$i%>;
 <% } %>

};

any ideas - how such cases can be addressed ?

By definition, the Perl preprocessor is a text-transformation step that happens before RDL lexing and parsing, so parameters are not accessible to it in the way you are attempting. Parameters are elaborated at the last step after compilation during elaboration - well after the preprocessor.

Why not use an array instead?

regfile block_regfile#(
    longint unsigned LIMIT = 10
){
    reg {
        field {
            sw = rw; hw = rw; } value[31:0] = 32'h0;
        } csr_register[LIMIT];
    };
};
