Re: [myhdl-list] Floating point

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

Hi Guenter,
Basically I'm testing serial to parallel block, it simply streams arrays. It
worked fine with integers arrays, but didn't work with floating point
arrays, because like you said intbv() deals with integers inherently. What I
am after here is to find a short cut instead of writing a quantizer (like
you said scale, round and truncate), i.e. is there any ready module that can
quantize a floating point array, I tried the bin() function but it doesn't
recognize floating points, it treats them as integers.
