Announcing OSVVM Release 2014.01

OSVVM release 2014.01 is now available at OSVVM Downloads. Note that starting with this release, I have separated the examples from the release of the library.

Message handling is now handled by separate package, MessagePkg. MessagePkg must be compiled before CoveragePkg. Suggested compile order:

• MessagePkg.vhd
• SortListPkg_int.vhd
• RandomBasePkg.vhd
• RandomPkg.vhd
• CoveragePkg.vhd

What’s new in CoveragePkg?

• Merging of coverage databases.
• Tracking last randomization.
• Improved handling of overlapping count bins
• Improved reporting on Aldec tools

What’s new in RandomPkg?

• Added RandTime and RandReal (for sets of real numbers)
• Added randomization of vectors: RandIntV, RandRealV, RandTimeV
• Made sort, revsort from SortListPkg_int visible via aliases

   Thanks for the release, Jim. Are these packages newer than the ones we were using on your VHDL Verification course in Bracknell, UK a few weeks ago? Cheers.
