[CentralOH] Python -- Templates -- Specific Targets

[James - Atlantix]

For those not itereested in VHDL, there is a header template

which would show how to make a hader with Mako for general Python
programming below . . . . 

 

 

Issac; These are good comments however I have long ago evaluated MyHDL as
not appropriate for me. (It is essentially more or less geared towards
Verilog although it claims VHDL support & seems confusing layer on top of
these languages.)

 

I should be more specifica about my Mako usage. I am using is essentially in
the role of parser/linker in the chain of lex/parser/linker/compiler . . . .
I have a very comprehensive suite of self made VHDL libraries that I
intelligently assemble

with Mako, so Mako has lots of <$defs > inside the template. 

 

For example, lets say I wanted to build and array of 24 debouncer circuits.
I have a nice hierarchical, parameterized VHDL module for this. Mako does
look something like this:

 

debouncetemplate = Template("""

<%def name = "Debouncer(instance,enEN,enRST,EN,RST,DIN,DOUT)">

${instance} : entity work.debounce(rtl)

                port map(

                                CLK          => CLK,

                                HRST       => HRST,

        % if enEN:

                                EN      => ${EN},

        % else:

                EN      => '1',

        % endif 

        % if enRST:

                                RST_FF    => ${RST}, 

        % endif        

                                DIN     => ${DIN},

                                DOUT      => ${DOUT}  

                );

    </%def>

""")

 

Atlantixheader = Template("""

<%def name = "Header(module,fname,time,author,company)">

--==========================================================================

==============</%def>""")

 

 

VHDLentity = Template("""

<%def name = "Header(entity,signals)">

library IEEE;

use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.all;

use ieee.numeric_std.all;

 

entity ${entity} is

                 port(

                                 CLK           : in std_logic;

                 HRST     : in std_logic;

        % for (a,b) in signals:

                ${a}\t  : ${b}  

        % endfor

                     );

end ${entity};</%def>""")

 

from time import strftime

 

 

gendate = strftime("%m/%d/%Y at %H.%M hours")

print Atlantixheader.get_def("Header").render(module="Debouncer Array",

                                              fname="Debouncer Array.vhd",

                                              time=gendate,

                                              author="James Bonannno",

                                              company="Atlantix
Engineering")    

 

num_inputs = 10

vector_size = " std_logic_vector(%s downto 0)" % str(num_inputs-1)

 

print VHDLentity.get_def("Header").render(entity="DebouncerArray",signals =
(('EN','in std_logic;'),

 
('RST','in std_logic;'),

 
('DIN','in'+vector_size+';'),

 
('DOUT','out'+vector_size)))

 

The programmatic generation would be like this:

 

for j in range(10):

    print Debouncetemplate.get_def("Debouncer").render(instance =
"U%s"%str(j+1),

                                                       enEN = False,

                                                       enRST = False,

                                                       EN="enbit%s"%str(j),

 
RST="rstFault%s"%str(j), 

                                                       DIN="DIN(%s)"%str(j),


                                                       DOUT =
"DOUT(%s)"%str(j))

    

Thanks,

 

James
