peakrdl-cocotb-ralgen 0.1.7a1.post1

Generate RAL tests from systemRDL.

peakrdl-cocotb-ralgen

A SystemRDL to raltest converter for cocotb.

This VIP confirms to sysrdl 1.2 and ral 1.0 format.

Installation

pip3 install peakrdl-cocotb-ralgen

Usage

peakrdl cocotb_ralgen <SystemRDL File> -o <output folder>
peakrdl python <SystemRDL File> -o <output folder>

Then in your cocotb test file

...
from peakrdl_cocotb_ralgen.callbacks.bsv import Callback
from peakrdl_cocotb_ralgen.testcases import rw_test, reset_test
from <AddrMap Name>_RAL import <AddrMap_Name>_RAL_Test as RAL
...

To read and check the value of all registers at Reset.

@cocotb.test
async def test_ral_reset(dut):
    """Ral test reset."""
    env = Env(dut)
    ral = RAL(env.reg, callback=Callback(dut))
    env.start()
    await FallingEdge(dut.rst_n)
    await ReadOnly()
    await reset_test.reset_test(ral, verbose=True)

To perform read write checks:

@cocotb.test
async def test_ral_readwrite(dut):
    """Ral test reset."""
    env = Env(dut)
    ral = RAL(env.reg, callback=Callback(dut))
    await RisingEdge(dut.rst_n)
    await ReadOnly()
    await rw_test.rw_test(ral,
    verbose=True
        foreground_read=True,
        foreground_write=False,
        count=1,
        verbose=True,
    )
...

Supporting different RTL generators.

For interfacing your RTL Generator generated code, ralgen needs to know the pattern used by you for signal naming. You can provide this information by passing a Callback function which maps the signal from systemRDL to RTL and provides methods to read & write to it.

Adding new tests.

New tests can be added to the testcases folder.

Contribution

PR's for supporting different RTL generators or test strategies are welcome.
