hdl-registers 2.1.0

The hdl_registers project is a HDL register generator fast enough to be run in real time.

The hdl_registers project is a HDL register generator fast enough to be run in real time. It can easily be plugged into your development environment so that VHDL register code generation is done before each build and simulation run. For your FPGA release artifacts it can generate headers and documentation.

See documentation on the website: https://hdl-registers.com

The typical use case is to let hdl_registers parse a .toml file with register definitions that make up a register map. It is also possible to work directly with the Python abstractions as well, without using a data file. From the Python abstractions, the following code can be generated:

• VHDL package containing the register constant values, as well as a type with all the registers and their modes. This can then be used with a general register file in the VHDL code.
• HTML website with documentation of the registers and constants.
• C header with constant values, register addresses, and register field information.
• C++ header and implementation with constant values, and setters/getters for the different registers. The header has an abstract interface class which can be used for mocking.
