  • How to simulate Verilog designs REALLY quickly ?
    4 projects | /r/FPGA | 7 Nov 2021
    I made a package called signalflip-js which would be good fit especially for a web app. It wraps the verilator testbench with javascript. An interesting thing to try here would be to compile verilator to wasm and use the wasm binary. DM me if you pick this route and need help
  • Verilator: Suggestions for verification framework?
    2 projects | /r/FPGA | 23 Oct 2021
    I use signalflip-js, a framework I created using node-js before cocotb had verilator support. The framework has fairly efficient multi-clock support where it will only evaluate the model if there is an edge toggle. It also has phase support, kind of like UVM, where you can schedule tasks for Pre-run Phase, Reset Phase, Run Phase, and Post-run phase.
