INSTRUCTIONS OF USE:
|
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
1- Compiling the sources:
|
| 32 |
|
|
|
| 33 |
|
|
The sc2v translator is based on lex and yacc tools. You need lex and yacc
|
| 34 |
39 |
vasiliev |
installed before trying to compile sc2v. On Windows operating systems, you can
|
| 35 |
|
|
find them in MinGW package.
|
| 36 |
35 |

|
| 37 |
|
|
For compiling the sources just type "make" under the directory you unzipped the
|
| 38 |
|
|
fonts. It will generate three executables: sc2v_step1 and sc2v_step2 sc2v_step3.
|
| 39 |
|
|
|
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
|
|
2- Translating an SystemC module:
|
| 42 |
|
|
|
| 43 |
|
|
To translate use sc2v.sh script in the /bin directory just writting sc2v.sh module_name
|
| 44 |
39 |
vasiliev |
(or sc2v.bat module_name on windows)
|
| 45 |
35 |
jcastillo |
|
| 46 |
|
|
3- Format and restrictions of the SystemC files:
|
| 47 |
|
|
|
| 48 |
|
|
- Each module must have a .h file with the declarations of ports,
|
| 49 |
|
|
signals, and processes, and there must exist a .cpp file with the code
|
| 50 |
|
|
of the processes.
|
| 51 |
|
|
|
| 52 |
|
|
- For writing to a port or a signal you must ALWAYS use the .write()
|
| 53 |
|
|
method.
|
| 54 |
|
|
|
| 55 |
|
|
-Macros not fully supported.
|
| 56 |
|
|
|
| 57 |
|
|
-Only data types: bool, sc_int, sc_bigint, sc_uint and sc_biguint are
|
| 58 |
|
|
supported.
|
