What belongs into this Library

This library contains VHDL code that is useful for testbenches. The code is meant for testbenches only, so it does not have to be synthesizable.

It is suggested to use one .vhd file per Package or Entity.

Examples for things that belong into this library:

• Bus-Functional-Modelsim
• Functions for checking values
• Functionality for automated stimuli generation (e.g. random generators)

What does not belong into this Library

• Any project specific code
• Code that better fits into another library
• Code that is meant for snythesis

Dependencies

The required folder structure looks as given below (folder names must be matched exactly).

Alternatively the repository psi_fpga_all can be used. This repo contains all FPGA related repositories as submodules in the correct folder structure.

• TCL
  • PsiSim (2.2.0 or higher)
• VHDL
  • psi_common (3.0.0 or hgiher)
  • psi_tb

Tagging Policy

Stable releases are tagged in the form major.minor.bugfix.

• Whenever a change is not fully backward compatible, the major version number is incremented
• Whenever new features are added, the minor version number is incremented
• If only bugs are fixed (i.e. no functional changes are applied), the bugfix version is incremented
