[myhdl-list] co-simuation

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

Hello All,
I am testing VHD2VL and trying to test the outputted file ifchain.v with MyHDL & Iverilog
co-simulation on a Raspberry Pi 2 B.

I created the files and folder vcd 
https://github.com/develone/raspberrypi2_yocto/tree/master/vhd2vl/examples/tb

ifchain  myhdl.vpi  tb_ifchain.v  test_ifchain.py  vcd

The above files were based on Chris Felton alt.hdl
that I had forked and tested on Raspberry Pi 2 B 
https://github.com/develone/alt.hdl/tree/master/examples/ex2_mathadds/test_verilogs
    git clone https://github.com/develone/alt.hdl.git
    cd alt.hdl/examples/ex2_mathadds/test_verilogs/
    cp ~/raspberrypi2_yocto/vhd2vl/examples/tb/myhdl.vpi .
    mkdir vcd
    python test_mathadds.py
This producee the expected output.
The output in next few lines below between the *** are  to verify GTKWAVE, MyHDL & Iverilog 
work with a Co-Simulation on Raspberry Pi 2 B.

[myhdl-list] Fixed-point status?

[Mark H. <ha...@ke...>]

Hi, new mailing-list subscriber here.

A couple years back there was a flurry of discussion about a fixed-point
data type (fixbv proposed in MEP-111), but google doesn't find much in the
past year.  I haven't been following myhdl closely, but it was been on my
to-do list to sit down and learn it.  Lack of fixed-point is the main thing
holding me back as my interest in FPGAs is pretty much limited to DSP and
SDR stuff.  Anyone know if the fixbv effort is still moving forward?

Thanks,

[myhdl-list] vhdl to verilog

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

Hello all,While looking for tool to convert VHDL to Verilog for simulation with Iverilog & myhdl I found what appears to work. http://www.ocean-logic.com/downloads.htmI downloaded with the following wget http://www.ocean-logic.com/pub/vhd2vl2.tgz
Just follow the README.txt.
I tried it on the raspberry Pi but could not get it work.  I tested on my Ubuntu and it appears to work based on examples. I need to do more testing.
The program appears to use Bision & Flex which I am not very knowledgeable. 
This would be a great tool for the Raspberry Pi HDL development that I am working on.Regards,

Hello Ciffford, and MyHDL This might provide the synthesizer on the development platform that I am working on.
I located your site while working with Dave VandenboutDave sells the XuLA2  and the StickIt-MB which combines a 
XulA2 with Raspberry.
I am working to create a HDL development platform.Currently I have an image that I created from source using YoctoThis image has OpenCV which works with 2 C920 cameras,MyHDL, XSTOOLs & GTKWave.  

XSTOOLs & GTKWave need to installed after booting the image.I recently built the code icestorm after adding libftdi1 and modifing a few filessee the files icestorm_diff080615.txt & notes_test_icestorm.txtat https://github.com/develone/raspberrypi2_yocto

Hey, Ed, this made me think. What if you had a StickIt! motherboard with 
a Lattice ICE40 FPGA, SDRAM and a serial flash instead of the XuLA 
connector? Could you run the open source ICE40 synthesizer tools on the 
RPi? Then you would have a complete FPGA development environment on the 
RPi that could load the FPGA on the StickIt!.

Re: [myhdl-list] bitbake recipes to build myhdl, xstools, iverilog and gtkwave using Yocto

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

Hi Jeremy,
If the synthesis tool is the goal not 
many boards running Linux don't fit the bill.
Xilinx and Altera have the market
 for the synthesis and bit file generation.

I started in Yocto before FPGAs since
 I have worked in Linux for many years.
I created images for the BeagleBoard, 
PandaBoard, BeagleBone, and ZedBoard using Yocto.

My thinking was the ZedBoard was the answer at $395.00.  
Learning Linux and FPGAs takes
quite an effort.  That is where MyHDL and Xess came.
The XulA2 which comes in 2 verisons XulA2-LX9 or XulA2-LX25 
 The XulA2 at $69 StickIt!-MB $20 (for GPIO to Pi ) and Raspberry Pi 2 B at $35 makes a low cost with a small foot print. 
 
Yocto which started in 2010 from Openembedded 
appears to be growing in users at the highest rate.

If you just want Linux with Ethernet, USB, and HDMI
it takes about 675MB image. This would need a mouse
or touch screen HDI since it supports a virtual keyboard.  

Now if you want OpenCV with C920 camera support 
and kernel-dev xterm git 
 jasper gsl gsl-dev python-netserver python-pygtk
 python-pygtk-dev python-numpy liba52 liba52-dev
 libmad libmad-dev libmad-staticdev 
 chkconfig v4l-utils python-imaging parted 
 python-distribute python-pyrex python-pexpect
 gperf tree libav libav-dev 
 x264 x264-dev libav libav-dev opencv opencv-samples
 cmake opencv-apps python-opencv tcl tk
The requires an image of 868.2 MB.

I have the software for what I described on 32 GB
running Debian on a Raspberry Pi 2 B. 

I think the next step is the Compute Module which is based
on the RaspberryPi designs.  I also think that Yocto will
be developing for that as well.  Most of the people at
Yocto work for WindRiver which is an Intel company.  
Also Intel is buying Altera.  

GNURADIO and OpenCV are where the FPGA opportunites 
will be running some ARM processor. Let me know if you have any questions.

My goal is create a Yocto image for the Raspberry Pi 2 B that provides the necessary tools to use MyHdl with Xstools, Iverilog & GTKwave.  The combo of RaspberryPi 2 B with a StickIt-MB & XulA2  would make a great low-cost development tool for developing and testing FPGAs.

I currently have a working core-image-sato that I can install myhdl using python setup.py develop instead of  python setup.py install.  I also can install Iverilog and GTKWave compiling from source on the target.

[myhdl-list] success creating a recipe to install myhdl

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

Hello All,Thanks to Ross Burton 
see the files https://github.com/develone/raspberrypi2_yocto.git
in recipe_myhdl folder.

Now have an rpm to install myhdl on a yocto build.

[myhdl-list] bitbake recipes to build myhdl, xstools, iverilog and gtkwave using Yocto

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

Hi all,Dave the current verison of Xstools is 6.0.15?Current vesion of MyHDL is 1.0.0 is that correct?
My goal is create a Yocto image for the Raspberry Pi 2 B that provides the necessary tools to use MyHdl with Xstools, Iverilog & GTKwave.  The combo of RaspberryPi 2 B with a StickIt-MB & XulA2  would make a great low-cost development tool for developing and testing FPGAs.

I currently have a working core-image-sato that I can install myhdl using python setup.py develop instead of  python setup.py install.  I also can install Iverilog and GTKWave compiling from source on the target.  
 I can ssh to the Raspberry Pi

Yes, defining interfaces like this is great and you
can attach transactors, adapters, etc.

My approached would be to define the interfaces and
still use a function (myhdl module/component):

     def fifo(stream_in, stream_o):
         inst_adapter_i = stream_i.adapter() # bus specific to generic
         inst_adapter_o = stream_o.adapter() # ""

         # add logic ....
         @always_seq(stream_i.clock.posedge, ...)
         def rtl_in():
             if stream_i.valid:


     stream_in = AXI4()  # instantiate the specifi bus
     stream_out = AXI4() # instantiate the specific bus
     inst_fifo = fifo(stream_in, stream_out)

This is kinda like what I did here:
https://github.com/cfelton/minnesota/tree/master/mn/system

Regards,
Chris

Re: [myhdl-list] Examples of using classes?

[Jeremy H. <jer...@gm...>]

Hi Chris,

I was thinking of using inheritance in defining interfaces using classes
like so:

class FIFO(object):
...

class AXIFIFO(FIFO):
...

class WishboneFIFO(FIFO):
...

Or even mixins:

class FIFO(object):
...

class AXI4SSlaveMixin(object):
...

class AXI4SMasterMixin(object):
...

class AXIFIFO(FIFO, AXI4SSlaveMixin, AXI4SMasterMixin):
...

Does this make sense? I'd basically like to be able to drop the
AXI4SSlaveMixin and replace it with WishboneSlaveMixin and have it "just
work".

Thanks,
Jeremy

This question pops up every once in awhile from new
users.  I think most users don't use classes as the
modules that contain the logic implementations.
Classes are used for interfaces and objects that might
have logic implementations (implemented in methods).

You can use classes, you just need to provide the
myhdl generators to the simulator and/or conversion
tools.

Can you elaborate how you want to use classes?  Its
not clear to me how inheritance can help logic
implementations.

Chris

[myhdl-list] Examples of using classes?

[Jeremy H. <jer...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently playing with myhdl, and I was wondering if anyone has
examples on using python classes to describe logic? more specifically, I am
looking for examples of class inheritance being used.

I have looked on the myhdl website and here:
https://github.com/jandecaluwe/myhdl-examples

but everything seems to be defined by functions in functions rather than in
a class.

Thanks,
Jeremy
