We are very pleased to post a real example OSVVM experience which has been shared by Miroslav Marinkovic. Miroslav has made use of Functional coverage, Random test generation and Intelligent Coverage Randomization and Message logging and reporting : Alerts and Affirmations in his testbench. We want to test BCH code which provides DEC-TED capability (Double-Error-Correction, Triple-Error-Detection)... »
Dear OS-VVM Members and Readers! VHDL needs your help.

If, however, somebody wants to post a snippet of VHDL code, situation changes dramatically… First, the poster has to know what format is expected: plain text, rich text, HTML? Then the plain VHDL code must be converted to proper format (with exce... »
