Re: [myhdl-list] new example for MyHDL about opencores.org projects rewrite

[Xiang Li <u46...@an...>]

I agree with your idea completely. One big disadvantage of projects from opencores.org is that many of them are lack of thorough verification. Bugs are associated with them.  Python has its merit that it is an object oriented programming language and nowadays object oriented idea is widely applied in SoC verification. It might be possible that we can build a new verification methodology using MyHDL. I will try it to see the possibility.
