#cocotb — Public Fediverse posts

Implementing HDL verification using #UVM is annoying and tedious. So #cocotb seems to be the right choice. #FPGA #Python #systemverilog #VHDL

@remi Yeah my whole group gave up on mathworks (and Microsoft). We do everything in python now with boost c++ for some bits (on linux). No more dealing with license servers is great. We stimulate on a cluster of machines now and never worry about running out of licenses. It's great. Now when we can get rid of #modelsim we will be ~100% #foss tool chain. #ghdl and or #cvc with #cocotb is close but not quite. Xilinx #vivado encrypted ip cores are a problem that can only be avoided by saying no...

I have a nominally working simulation of a PI controller for the quadrature current in my scratch designed #fpga motor controller. Simulated in #ghdl and #cocotb. And the #xilinx ISE build fits! So I'm back to looking at the blown up hardware. Just pulled the scratch designed motor controller out of the Ice Cream Truck... I don't see a blown FET yet, but I saw a flash and pop the last time I worked on it, so I know it's in there somewhere. Race is on May 20th in #chicago Come out and help me!
