HDLTool is a program that will help running VHDL simulations:

• Automatic dependency detection
• Compiling
• Configuring tests
• Running simulations
• Advanced testbench generics

NOTE not all features are implemented yet

WARNING this project is in development

Demo setup:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'src')
  
from hdlTool import HdlTool as Ht

def main():

    ht = Ht()
  
    # Create VIP UART collection
    uart_col = ht.collection()
    uart_col.set_library("bitvis_vip_uart")
    uart_col.add_files("demo/bitvis_vip_uart/*.vhd")
    uart_col.add_files("demo/uvvm_vvc_framework/src_target_dependent/*.vhd")
    uart_col.organize_collection()
  
    # Create VIP SBI collection
