ipxact2systemverilog 1.0.23

Generate VHDL, SystemVerilog, html, rst, md, pdf, c headers from an IPXACT description

ipxact2systemverilog ipxact2rst ipxact2md ipxact2vhdl ipxact2c

This software takes an IP-XACT description of register banks, and generates synthesizable VHDL and SystemVerilog packages and ReStructuredText documents. It ONLY considers register bank descriptions. The software does not generate OVM or UVM test bench packages. In the example/tb directory there is an example of how to use the generated packages.

Usage

pip install ipxact2systemverilog

ipxact2systemverilog --srcFile FILE --destDir DIR
ipxact2rst --srcFile FILE --destDir DIR
ipxact2md --srcFile FILE --destDir DIR
ipxact2vhdl --srcFile FILE --destDir DIR
ipxact2c --srcFile FILE --destDir DIR

Development

See https://github.com/oddball/ipxact2systemverilog

Testing the example file

make

If Modelsim is installed: :

make compile
make sim

Note

You can use http://pandoc.org/demos.html to convert to almost any fileformat.

Validation

To validate your xml :

xmllint --noout --schema ipxact2systemverilog/xml/component.xsd  example/input/test.xml

Dependencies

pip install docutils lxml mdutils

Dependencies used by makefile

These are not needed for ipxact2systemverilog, but used for generating some of the files in example/output

brew install pandoc

# needed for sphinx
brew install texlive
sudo tlmgr install latexmk

Working in development mode for pypi

rm -rf dist
pip3 install -e .
python3 setup.py sdist
twine upload dist/*

TODO

• A better test bench for the generated packages should be implemented.
• More complicated IPXACT files should be added and tried out.
• Add support for the SystemVerilog generator to have a register field of an enumerated type.
• Support DIM
