THIS PROJECT IS DEPRECATED. DO NOT USE IT! Repository containing the BPM firmware =============================================== The project is based on tools and projects developed by CERN and others: hdl-make: http://www.ohwr.org/projects/hdl-make wishbone-gen: http://www.ohwr.org/projects/wishbone-gen platform-independent core collection: http://www.ohwr.org/projects/general-cores white-rabbit core collection: http://www.ohwr.org/projects/wr-cores =============================================== This repository makes use of git submodules, located at 'cores' folder: cores/general-cores cores/hdl-make cores/wishbone-gen cores/wr-cores And custom modules (based or not on others): cores/hdl-make2 Also, there is a modification to the hdlmake program, called hdlmake2, in order to support the ISim simulation software. To clone the whole repository use the following command: $ git clone --recursive git://github.com/lerwys/BPM_project.git or $ git clone --recursive git@github.com:lerwys/BPM_project.git For older versions of Git (<1.6.5), use the following: $ git clone git://github.com/lerwys/BPM_project.git or $ git clone git@github.com:lerwys/BPM_project.git $ git submodule init $ git submodule update To update each submodule within this project use: $ git submodule foreach git rebase origin master =============================================== Known Issues: If you plan on using the hdlmake2 (modified from the original hdlmake) with Xilinx simulation tool (ISim), there is a know bug. The ISim tool may issue an error when trying to return a value with structured access. See example below (extracted from Xilinx Foruns: http://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Simulation-and -Verification/FATAL-ERROR-in-ISIM-Simulator-when- derefencing-pointer-to-array/td-p/189894: function toString(vector: std_ulogic_vector) return string is begin return toLine(vector).all; end toString; The above snippet won't compile. The workaround to this bug is breaking the return line into two. function toString(vector:std_ulogic_vector) return string is variable templ : line; begin templ := toLine(vector); return templ.all; end toString;
