Subject: VPI in Perl..
Hi,
I am Raghu from Texas Instruments. I would like to know if there is any
effort to integrate Perl with Verilog. Currently, the 1364 standard
allows only C functions to be integrated with Verilog (VPI). Since, the
simulators nowadays are available in many platforms, not to the various
architectures (linux in hpux, linux in intel, solaris, unix, windows
etc.), the designers have to recompile for the various target machines
and platforms. This could be a pain and also unnecessary. One way to
overcome is for Verilog to allow Perl sub routines (on the lines of the
C functions). Perl being OS independent should make things simpler for
the designer and also it enables rapid application development.
Let me know if there is an existing mechanism to do this or a current
effort on this front. Thanks in advance.
