Welcome to the HES-SO Valais Wallis Wiki of the Infotronics Unit

This is the knowledge database of the HES-SO Valais Wallis Institute of Systems Engineering Infotronics Unit. It's the place to share experiences, findings, how-to's and everything else about HDL, Telecom, Embedded Systems and related topics.

News

  • Continued support for VHDL 2008 and SystemVerilog.
  • Minor GUI improvements and bugfixes
  • the new Register Assistant UVM (RUVM) in Questa

Register Assistant UVM consists of a single, scalable and extensible data model that enables proficient management of the register information and changes and automatically generates or updates the UVM Register package for use within Questa Sim. RUVM can import register and memory specifications from spreadsheets (CSV) describing the hierarchy of blocks, sub-blocks, maps, registers, fields and memories, while DRC checks ensure consistency. RUVM is part of a complete register management solution available in HDL Designer which can import register and memory specifications from a variety of sources including IP-XACT, XML and spreadsheet (CSV) and automatically generate consistent UVM and OVM register packages for verification, synthesizable RTL code for the hardware design, C Header definitions for the software/firmware development, and HTML hyperlinked documentation for communication.
