Re: [myhdl-list] co-simuation

[Edward V. <dev...@sb...>]

Chris,Thanks for the information. That helped me.My vcd/ifchain.vcd is starting to show signs of life.
I am trying to document my process.  Can you take a look at the 2 files below and give me ideas on what is right and what is wrong.

https://github.com/develone/raspberrypi2_yocto/blob/master/doc/simulate.pdf
and https://github.com/develone/raspberrypi2_yocto/blob/master/doc/tb_xxxx.pdf
 Still not getting the status to go green in my co-simulation.I just push my latest code to github.Thanks Regards

This actually is not a cosimulation error.  I ran your
code and the resulting error is:

    ValueError: intbv value 10 >= maximum 8

In your code your `a` and `b` are:

    a = Signal(intbv(0)[3:])
    b = Signal(intbv(0)[3:])

Now remember, in Python the upper limit is exclusive,
you created 3bit bit-vectors.  The max value that can
be used is 7.  You probably intended it to be:

    a = Signal(intbv(0)[4:])
    b = Signal(intbv(0)[4:])

When I make the changes, you code executes without
error.

Regards,
Chris
