How do I create multiple common FPGA structures in kristen?

I am trying to use Kristen to generate FPGA host verilog and a C++ source software to access the FPGA host. The problem is that I have a several chunks of common registers for controlling several neurotrophic processor instances (which are parametrizable) and I don't want to just make copies of the XML definition. Is there a way to make a section of the definition file replicate? Is there a way to feed it a parameter to make it replicate? So if I increase the NMP instance, I get more instances of the SW host?

Specifically, I want to replicate the nmp register per NMP instance. But I only want one copy of the version, DDR and core registers.

What I don't want to do is make 1000 copies of those lines and give them individual names.

So you probably need to break this up a little differently. Not totally knowing HOW you want this organized, I would suggest making two seperate modules. One of the modules is your single instance with your device and core stuff, and the second module is your nmp stuff and is replicated X number of times.
There is no way to feed a define or parameter to the XML to control the replication externally, but you can place a fixed number inside of the XML that will cause replication. There are some tradeoff's here. I think one way is more expensive than the other but you can try it out and see what happens.

I break it into two modules below and add a "duplicate" attribute. I think this will litterally create 1000 modules in verilog and will assign them names like nmp1, nmp2... nmp1000. I think this is very simple to do, but it will cost you lots of microprocessor interface logic.

A little more complicated thing to do is to place the duplicate on each of the registers and memories themselves. I think this will save some resources, but it is still going to be a lot of logic for a 1000 instances.
