the GHDL version was 5.0.1, but good news, the OSVVM packages compiled with NVC. And also the basic VHDL code ran and the random function is really powerful when implemented. Really appreciate the work in OSVVM!

Oh, I forgot to mention how to run it for different vendor tools…

The instantiation of the OsvvmProFileProcessor takes an optional argument of type OsvvmVariables

osvvmVariables = OsvvmVariables(
vhdlVersion = VHDLVersion.VHDL2008,
toolVendor = "Aldec"
toolName = "RivieraPRO"
toolVersion = "2024.10"
)
processor =…[Read more]

Hi Isaac,
I think Patrick’s solution will be the defacto solution for integration with VUnit. Particularly since he is working on generating reports too – really cool.

Before I talked to Patrick today, I worked on the script I mentioned above. For each OSVVM library, it will create a list of files associated with the library. Note the…[Read more]

Hi Isaac,

a few weeks ago, I release pyEDAA.OSVVM as part of the bigger EDA² Python package family. It provides a OSVVM *.pro file processor as well as data models and parsers for OSVVM’s YAML (and XML) file formats.

Can you please provide the output of

ghdl –version

Hi Jim,

thanks a lot for the quick reply and, of course, for all the work you put into the OSVVM.

If I understand you correctly, I could either a) build the OSVVM libraries with the built-in scripts, and then link to those libraries in my workflow, or b) take a look at the scripts, specially VendorScripts_Siemens.tcl, and reverse-engineer the…[Read more]

Hi Isaac,
From time to time, the OSVVM compile scripts are updated. It is hard to maintain more than one approach. The reason we developed the OSVVM scripts is to provide a better reporting mechanism. In addition the the ordinary JUnit reports, OSVVM does a more comprehensive Build summary. We also do test case summaries, functional…[Read more]

Hopefully I answered this in: https://osvvm.org/forums/topic/issues-with-ghdl-when-compiling-osvvm-packages

Are you running a current version of GHDL? Our github actions run with GHDL every day. See: https://github.com/OSVVM/OsvvmLibraries/actions

Did you use the directions in OsvvmLibraries/Documentation/Scripts_user_guide.pdf?

Here they are:

Initialize the OSVVM Script environment by doing:

The problem is, with Ubuntu 24.04, I think we can install the latest GHDL with snap store, but I have pop!_os 22.04 which is like Ubuntu 22.04. Here I have to install GHDL from github. I installed 5.0.1 GHDL. But I have all sorts of problems (with dependencies as I am doing it manually) where I couldn’t initialise and create the first work object…[Read more]

You need XSIM if you are using Xilinx’s encrypted IP. However XSIM is very slow.

GHDL and nvc both support OSVVM well – however they need a third party waveform viewer such as SURFER.

OSVVM is updated several times each year. Even if a simulator includes an OSVVM release, it may be out of date.

OSVVM is fast to compile the project.…[Read more]
