Description
Verilog Testbench Generator
Verilog Testbench Generator is a really handy tool for anyone working with Verilog, which is a hardware description language. This software helps you analyze, simulate, and test your designs before you actually go ahead and implement them. So, it’s like a safety net for circuit creators!
What Does It Do?
As the name suggests, this application generates Verilog testbenches that can be tested with random inputs. It’s super useful for making modelim, ncsim compilations, and other simulation scripts. You can think of it as your go-to helper when you need to make sure everything works properly.
Getting Started
The best part? Verilog Testbench Generator is written in Java and comes as a simple JAR file. Before you dive in, though, there are a few setup steps you'll need to follow.
Setting Up Your Environment
First off, you'll need to set up the EDAUTILS_LICENSE_KEY environment variable. Then run the setup_env file using these commands:
set EDAUTILS_ROOT=D:\\mpDesignPlayer-win32.x86_641MAY2014 (this installation directory)
set PATH="%path%;%EDAUTILS_ROOT%\\bin"Launching the Utility
Once you've set the EDAUTILS root path correctly, you're ready to launch the utility! You can do this with one of two commands:
1. gentbvlog -in simple_and.v -top simple_and -out edautils_tech_tb.v [+incdir+dir1+dir2] -clk "clk1@8{in1:in2}" -clk clk2 -rst rst1 -rst "rst2{1@5:0@50:1@150}"
2. java com.eu.miscedautils.gentbvlog.GenTBVlog -in simple_and.v -top simple_and -out edautils_tech_tb.v [+incdir+dir1+dir2] -clk "clk1@8{in1:in2}" -clk clk2 -rest rest1 -rest "rest2{1@5:0@50:1@150}"
where:
clk is one of the clocks
rest2 is the reset.A Few Things to Remember
Verilog Testbench Generator only runs in the command prompt. So make sure you're comfortable with common commands and understand how to use the console before getting started!
