Thanks for the link, I am always interested in your thoughts and opinions. This leads to an interesting question, which is your preference, MyHDL design or VHDL with modern development tools (hope that doesn't put you on the spot)?

To All, I will be utilizing the Sigasi environment for the testing of VHDL source code that has been generated both both the ImpulseC and MyHDL software entities !! Is anyone interested in my results ??

Yes, I will provide the results. Which studies and which designs would you like to see to be implemented???

Without constraints I would obviously choose MyHDL as the first option, if only to get the bugs out of my own stuff :-) However, note that even then I will likely need VHDL in the process: as the result from MyHDL, to integrate with 3rd party stuff, to synthesize from. From now on, I would always use Sigasi HDT to support that work. Note also that I could use refactoring e.g. to create hierarchy out of a flat design from the MyHDL convertor. MyHDL and VHDL should not be viewed as opponents. MyHDL's main inspiration is obviously VHDL. MyHDL can be viewed as VHDL's "scripting companion". I have a lot to thank to VHDL, but I've written so much of it already that it's also a simple matter of not getting bored! It's true however that Sigasi HDT makes it much more fun again. It avoids most of the boring stuff. I don't think my own situation is that relevant however. I believe that MyHDL (or at least its concepts) has a good future in the longer term, but there's also the short and medium term to take care of. There you have all kind of constraints, personal preferences, company policies etc. Realistically people in different situations need different solutions, and for me it's not a contradiction to work on various fronts of progress.

Based on constraints, circumstances, ideologies, etc can/will drive the technology. One thing I did find interesting was the idea of refactoring the generated VHDL. That appears breaks the philosophy previously held, the output is more of an intermediate form not required to be tampered with. The idea of not modifying the generated HDL in itself doesn't prevent integration with legacy VHDL/Verilog. So, is it more as a debug / analysis tool? The refactoring would have to be complete on each new generation of the hdl, correct? Thanks again, .Chris |
