Hi! I mastered the Vide 'ide' package (aka user interface stuff). It's more than 10 month since I last tested user interface. In that mitycal times, the hole stuff DID worked. But it doesn't anymore (tested today on Win 2000 + jdk 1.3 + HotSpot (nop jit)). I apologise for this 'inconvenience'. I'll do my best when I'll have some spare time.

vlo...@li... writes: Thanks for the information. So are you sayingthat the binary versions do NOT contain the updated versions? If so, that will explain why I have not seen the latest corrections. I still cannot get it to take a delay in the form of an identifier previously defined. At any rate, I will continue to experiment. As for the idea, yes, I believe it is feasible. Obviously the issue of speed is a little annoying at times but perhaps there are ways to improve it. I notice that everything that happens is echod to the output window. Would allowing the user to disable this verbosity help speed? I am not a java programmer but what I know of it allows me to sympathize with you. A couple of things I would improve if it were me: 1: Provide a close button for the wave viewr window. 2: Provide a way to use the mouse to zoom on select pieces of the waves. 3: I am not sure if it has this already, but the ability to place breakpoints would be nice. I am only a novice verilog user so my ability to give good, sound advice is somewhat hindered. However, I see a lot of potential for non-professional users right now (ie students etc) and, with the addition of more speed it could be quite popular. I almost weep at the cost of other simulators. And the other free ones are always limited in many ways. Yours comes the closest to providing a reasonably full and rich tool for analysis. Coupled with the fact it costs nothing and I'd say you got yerself a winner. I wish I could contribute more such as code and more technical snippets. For now, though, you must be satisfied with the ravings of an unexperienced newbie. I appreciate your patience. I'll continue to learn verilog using your tool. I hope I can be of more help.

Hi Al, to download the latest release, go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/vlogide then check out the "Latest File Releases" topic. The vIDE_src package contains the latest sources, and vIDE_bin contains onle the .class files. As about the CVS, i cant tell you much, as im rather new to this stuff (i tahank god i could update my modifications :). Do you have access to the CVS repository using your sourceforge account ? As about your reports... THEY ARE OF GREAT HELP. So, keep sending us reports on any bugs you may find, i cant tell you how valuable they are for me (dont quite have the necessary time to test everything). I'm currently working on the delyas stuff, guess it will be done within one day or so. I would also like to know your opinion concerning the project's idee: do you think it is really feasible ? I mean a Java-based simulator will always be with some orders of magnitude slower than any (and no matter how badly written) C/C++ implementation. How fast does it actually run on your machine ? Thanks again, alec. |

Hi, Just uploaded a new release with the recent bugfixes (delays and anonymous gates). Any new bugs, Al ? Alec. |

Hm, it seems like ive overlooked this sittuation, and it may take some more time to fix it (all the code was written having in mind the assumption that everything has some name).

Hi,
just finished to import all the sources into the CVS tree at sourceforge. From
now on, the most recent updates will go right there (and, if i have any time
left, patches & file releases will follow at some stages :)
Alec.

I am trying out some sample code to get a feel for the capabilities of vIDE. After some effort I have discovered: 1: Delays used in gate instantiations must be of the form #(h,l). Is it not possible to use simply #d? 2: When defining modules that use primitives, I cannot seem to do it without provoding an identifier. ie module rs_ff (s,r,q,qb); output q,qb; input r,s; nand (q,r,qb); nand (qb,s,q); endmodule does not work whereas: module rs_ff (s,r,q,qb); output q,qb; input r,s; nand n1 (q,r,qb); nand n2 (qb,s,q); endmodule does work. Also: module rs_ff (s,r,q,qb); output q,qb; input r,s; nand #1 n1 (q,r,qb); nand #1 n2 (qb,s,q); endmodule does not parse whereas: module rs_ff (s,r,q,qb); output q,qb; input r,s; nand #(1,0) n1 (q,r,qb); nand #(1,0) n2 (qb,s,q); endmodule does work. Any suggestions or is this feature not available? 3: Are compiler directives allowed? ie I cannot seem to use the `timescale directive. I'd appreciate anything that can be offered.
