libvhdl

A LGPLv3 licensed library of reusable components for VHDL designs and testbenches

##sim (Non) synthesible components for testbenches

AssertP

Package with various assertion procedures.

  • assert_true(x[, str, level]) checks if boolean x = false
  • assert_false(x[, str, level]) checks if boolean x = false
  • assert_equal(x, y[, str, level]) checks if x = y
  • assert_unequal(x, y[, str, level]) checks if x /= y

All of the assert_* procedures have following optional parameters:

  • str print string str to console instead implemented one
  • level severity level (note, warning, error, failure)
SimP

Package with various components general useful for simulation

  • wait_cycles(x, n) waits for n rising edges on std_logic signal x
  • spi_master() configurable master for SPI protocol, supports all cpol/cpha modes
  • spi_slave() configurable slave for SPI protocol, supports all cpol/cpha modes
StringP

Package with various functions to convert to string

  • to_char(x) returns string with binary value of std_logic x
  • to_string(x) returns string with binary value of std_logic_vector x
QueueP

Package with various implementations of queue types:

  • t_simple_queue simple array based FIFO queue
  • t_list_queue linked list FIFO queue using access types

syn

Synthesizable components for implementing in FPGA

SpiSlaveE

Configurable SPI slave with support modes 0-3 and simple VAI local backend

##test Unit tests for each component

QueueT

Unit tests for components of QueueP package

SimT

Unit tests for components of SimP package

SpiT

Unit tests for SpiSlave component

StringT

Unit tests for components of SimP package

Dependencies

To run the tests, you have to install GHDL. You can get it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghdl-updates/.

Building

Type make and you should see the successfully running tests

$ make
ghdl -a --std=02 ../sim/QueueP.vhd QueueT.vhd
ghdl -e --std=02 QueueT
ghdl -r --std=02 QueueT
