JHDLWrapper

public JHDLWrapper()

Method Detail

checkTechnologyValidity

public static boolean checkTechnologyValidity(java.lang.String technology)

This method will check the validity of a given technology string. This method return a false if the technoloyg is not valid and true if it is valid.

Parameters:

technology - The technology name to check against the valid ones

Returns:

True if the passed-in name matches a valid technology

listValidTechnologies

public static java.lang.String listValidTechnologies()

Returns a String representing the valid/supported technologies.

Returns:

a String representing valid/supported technologies

JHDL_ID

public static java.lang.String JHDL_ID(java.lang.String id)

Returns a JHDL-valid Identifier.

Parameters:

id - The String to make JHDL-valid

Returns:

A JHDL-valid String

buildWrapper

public static byucc.jhdl.base.Cell buildWrapper(byucc.jhdl.base.HWSystem parent,
                                                EdifCellInstance instance,
                                                java.lang.String technology)

buildWrapper

public static byucc.jhdl.base.Cell buildWrapper(byucc.jhdl.base.HWSystem parent,
                                                EdifCellInstance instance,
                                                java.lang.String technology,
                                                boolean addEdifCellInstanceAsProperty)

Step 1. Dynamically create a top-level "test-bench" cell - is a "Logic" object - Create the cell interface (see BuildWrapper code for figuring out how to decide) - Create all the wires owned by this new cell (see BuildWrapper) (connect them to the ports using the connect call). Step 2. Call Parser - Create a new Edi2JHDL object with proper technology - Generate sub-cell using toJHDLCircuit method of Edi2JHDL - You can now call the CLI thing with the new top-level cell

Parameters:

parent - The parent HWSystem for the new cell.

instance - EdifCellInstance of the top edif cell to build the JHDL cell off of.

technology - The technology to base the circuit off of.

Returns:

The JHDL version of the Edif Cell.

createWiresFromPorts

public static byucc.jhdl.base.Wire[] createWiresFromPorts(SimpleTestBench testbench,
                                                          EdifCellInstance eci,
                                                          boolean addEdifCellInstanceAsProperty)

Takes the EdifPorts, and make wires for the CellInterface.

Parameters:

testbench - The testbench to add wires to for each top-level port

edifCell - The EdifCell to get the ports from, in order to make the wires

Returns:

A Wire Array of top-level Wires Objects for the CellInterface

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
