v2.4

A project log for VHDL library for gate-level verification

Collection of ASIC cells and ProASIC3 "tiles" in VHDL so I can design and verify optimised code without the proprietary libraries

I just uploaded A3Ptiles_v2.4_20191201.tgz and though it's a pretty modest update compared to the last archive (I added larger integers for the histograms and activity counters, plus a few features) the cumulative changes deserve a minor number increment ! So it's v2.4 already, and more features are brewing already : I am coding some files to import exclusion vectors from external files.

Stay tuned.


... and in read_xcl.tgz I prototyped the code that reads the "exclusion files".

I could read the whole file into memory but I don't want to use more memory than required, particularly during initialisation. So I scan the file along with the list of gates. It's not the most direct/simple method but it is light on real resources and scalable if the DUT grows.

I'm about to include the mechanism inside the general system.
