./cad/MyHDL-iverilog, Icarus Verilog cosimulation support for py-MyHDL

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.10, Package name: MyHDL-iverilog-0.10, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

MyHDL is a Python package for using Python as a hardware
description language. Popular hardware description languages, like
Verilog and VHDL, are compiled languages. MyHDL with Python
can be viewed as a "scripting language" counterpart of such
languages. However, Python is more accurately described as a very
high level language (VHLL). MyHDL users have access to the
amazing power and elegance of Python for their modeling work.

This package is Icarus Verilog cosimulation support for py-MyHDL.

upstream changelog
==================
What’s new in MyHDL 0.9
Python 3 support

Experimental Python 3 support has been added to MyHDL 0.9. This was a major \ 
effort to modernize the code. As a result, Python 2 and 3 are supported from a \ 
single codebase.

See Python 3 Support for more info.
Interfaces (Conversion of attribute accesses)
Rationale

Complex designs often have many signals that are passed to different levels of \ 
hierarchy. Typically, many signals logically belong together. This can be \ 
modelled by an interface: an object that has a number of Signal objects as its \ 
attributes. Grouping signals into an interface simplifies the code, improves \ 
efficiency, and reduces errors.

The following is an example of an interface definition:

class Complex:
    def __init__(self, min=-2, max=2):
        self.real = Signal(intbv(0, min=min, max=max))
        self.imag = Signal(intbv(0, min=min, max=max))

Although previous versions supported interfaces for modeling, they were not \ 
convertible. MyHDL 0.9 now supports conversion of designs that use interfaces.

The following is an example using the above Complex interface definition:

a,b = Complex(-8,8), Complex(-8,8)
c = Complex(-128,128)

def complex_multiply(clock, reset, a, b, c):

    @always_seq(clock.posedge, reset=reset)
    def cmult():
        c.real.next = (a.real*b.real) - (a.imag*b.imag)
        c.imag.next = (a.real*b.imag) + (a.imag*b.real)

    return cmult

Solution

The proposed solution is to create unique names for attributes which are used by \ 
MyHDL generators. The converter will create a unique name by using the name of \ 
the parent and the name of the attribute along with the name of the MyHDL module \ 
instance. The converter will essentially replace the ”.” with an \ 
“_” for each interface element. In essence, interfaces are supported \ 
using hierarchical name expansion and name mangling.

Note that the MyHDL convertor supports interfaces, even though the target HDLs \ 
do not. This is another great example where the convertor supports a high-level \ 
feature that is not available in the target HDLs.

Other noteworthy improvements
ConcatSignal interface

The interface of ConcatSignal was enhanced. In addition to signals, you can now \ 
also use constant values in the concatenation.
std_logic type ports

toVHDL() has a new attibute std_logic_ports. When set, only std_logic type ports \ 
are used in the interface of the top-level VHDL module.
Development flow

The MyHDL development flow has been modernized by moving to git and github for \ 
version control. In addition, travis has set up so that all pull requests are \ 
tested automatically, enabling continuous intergration.
Acknowledgments

The Python 3 support effort was coordinated by Keerthan Jaic, who also \ 
implemented most of if. Convertible interfaces were championed by Chris Felton, \ 
and implemented by Keerthan Jaic.

MyHDL development is a collaborative effort, as can be seen on github. Thanks to \ 
all who contributed with suggestions, issues and pull requests.
