Ruby-VPI is a Ruby interface to Verilog VPI. With it, you can create
complex Verilog test benches easily and wholly in Ruby.

http://ruby-vpi.rubyforge.org/


= Version 0.5 (2006-05-13)

== Summary

This release adds a tool which generates test benches, and adds
support for {Behavior Driven
Development}[http://behaviour-driven.org] via the
RSpec[http://rspec.rubyforge.org] library.

== Details

* A tool, which generates most of a Ruby-VPI test bench from a
Verilog 2001 module declaration, has been added.

* Ability to use RSpec in a test bench has been added.

* Ability to specify arbitrary command-line arguments to Verilog
simulators has been added in the examples' makefile template.

* Tested and developed using:
* Ruby 1.8.4 and Icarus Verilog 0.8 on i686 GNU/Linux
* Ruby 1.8.4 and Mentor Modelsim 6.1d on x86_64 GNU/Linux

== Acknowledgment

* Thanks to Scott L Holmes for helping me {use the RSpec library
without its
runner}[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.general/150087]
program.

I don't know of any big-name users yet, but I'm writing this
framework to make it easier to think about, verify, and implement
the memory subsystem for an out-of-order processor at the University
of California, Santa Cruz called SCOORE.

The upcoming release will put heavy emphasis on the fantastic
Behavior Driven Development methodology
<http://behaviour-driven.org>, as it's _very_ portable (you can show
a specification to even non-technical management and receive good
feedback on your design).

Interesting. Does your work relate to Professor Jose Renau's Niagara
initiatives?

Not at the moment. However, It does relate to other projects led by
Prof. Renau, such as SCOORE and SynOS.
