HDLconv 0.1.1

HDL converter, based on GHDL, Yosys, and the plugins ghdl-yosys-plugin and yosys-slang

HDLconv

HDL converter (between VHDL, SystemVerilog and/or Verilog), based on GHDL, Yosys, Synlig and the plugins ghdl-yosys-plugin and yosys-slang. It relies on Docker and PyFPGA containers.

Known limitation: the files must be located either under the $HOME directory or under the current working directory ($PWD) for Docker to be able to find and access them.

• vhdl2vhdl: converts from a newer VHDL to VHDL'93 (using ghdl).
• vhdl2vlog: converts from VHDL to Verilog (backends: ghdl or yosys).
• slog2vlog: converts from SystemVerilog to Verilog (frontends: slang, synlig or yosys).
