This command failed during the verification step because the path to the module definition for ADDF is missing. In our architecture file, user-defined verilog modules are those ``<circuit_model>`` with the key term `verilog_netlist`. The ``user_defined_templates.v`` file provides a module template for incorporating Hard IPs with no external library into the architecture.

This file contains user-defined verilog modules that are found in the openfpga_cell_library with ports declaration (compatible with other netlists that are auto-generated by OpenFPGA) but without functionality. The file is used as a reference for engineers to check what is the port sequence required by top-level verilog netlists. This file can be included in simulation only if there are modifications to the file.
