Re: [myhdl-list] migrating from myHDL-0.5.1 to myHDL_0.6

[Sami Al D. <sam...@gm...>]

Dear All,

Thank you for your response, it is really helpful especially Gunter's
approach. But for now I think I will go with the straight forward one
suggested by Jan. And I assume I should install the new VPI file of the 0.6
for the cosimulation instead of the old one in the simulator (Icarus in my
case), right?

I really like the analyze/verify features, because they save me the script
used to compile ans simulate the Verilog code. By the way does anyone have
good experience in Icarus (maybe it is somehow unrelated to myHDL but it can
be useful)? I ran into the issue when you have a python script using the
function "os.system(*command*)" to run Icarus for compiling and simulating
then GTKwave for showing the wave diagram, sometimes when you have a syntax
error python just do not realize this and continue the script. Do you if
Icarus can return a value that can be tested for errors that can help my
script? Actually I asked the same question in the Icarus Wiki and they
pointed to a Perl test suite that I can learn from, this requires investing
time to learn Perl then translate it to Python, which is an option I like to
make one my last ones.

Sorry for the long email and thank you for your time reading it.
