  • Software languages vs HDLs for verification
    3 projects | /r/FPGA | 11 Feb 2023
    My goto tools for verification in VHDL are UVVM and VUnit
  • Libero - Inefficient Simulations
    1 project | /r/FPGA | 29 Jan 2023
    I think the VUnit vivado example (https://github.com/VUnit/vunit/tree/master/examples/vhdl/vivado) may be a good starting point when working with Xilinx IP outside of an IDE.
  • Books About Testing and Verification
    2 projects | /r/FPGA | 25 Jan 2023
    I learned a lot from https://vunit.github.io/ I even became a better VHDL engineer from this fantastic project. It showed me things I did not know VHDL was capable of.
  • A couple of questions for the experts

  • Reference of verification IPs

    Hey! I haven't seen anyone mention Vunit yet. Vunit has a verification components library with Master and Slave components for a decent amount of buses: Axi, Axi stream, Wishbone, Avalon, Uart. The code isn't 100% bullet proof but it is really useful for testing designs.
  • SystemVerilog testbench library
    1 project | /r/FPGA | 14 Sep 2022
    I agree vunit is great but due to circumstances (you can see post above) I need the testbench to be purely SV (and vunit as you said wouldn't help with all of that, only some of it, as you have pointed out). When I refered to vunit I forgot to link the example: https://github.com/VUnit/vunit/tree/master/examples/verilog/uart/src . I referred more to tge fact it is self checking, and the tasks can be reused in ither tbs as well
  • The Vivado 2021.2 is out thread
    1 project | /r/FPGA | 9 Nov 2021
    As for simulation, the last time I used it there were a lot of features not supported. Not sure where this is documented, but I know VUnit can't support it per https://github.com/VUnit/vunit/issues/209 .

  • VHDL Testbench Library Comparison
    2 projects | /r/FPGA | 8 Apr 2021
    Please consider adding simulator support to this comparison. For example, Vivado's xsim can't be used with VUnit.
  • The simplest way to automate my testbench?

    I think these two examples can help you get started. https://github.com/VUnit/vunit/tree/master/examples/vhdl/array_axis_vcs https://github.com/VUnit/vunit/tree/master/examples/vhdl/generate_tests/
