mif 0.5

reading and writing MIF files

mif

mif is a Python module to read and write Memory Initialization Files, used by Quartus to interact with memory blocks on Intel FPGAs. They are similar to Intel HEX files, except they support arbitrary memory widths as first-class citizens.

Installation

Install via pip:

pip install mif

Basic Use

Use with load / loads and dump / dumps, similar to the json module:

with open('memory.mif') as f:
    mem = mif.load(f)

print(mif.dumps(mem))

The resulting mem is a numpy array of unpacked bits, where the first dimension is the address in memory, and the second are the bits in little-endian order. For example, to access the least significant bit at address 0x12:

mem[0x12][0]
