pltbutils required_updates.txt
 
While pltbutils is still in alpha- and beta state, backwards compatibility in
new versions of pltbutils is not prioritized, because the code is still under
development.
If you have made testbenches which use pltbutils, you may need to make
modifications if you update to a newer version of pltbutils.
This document lists required modifications to your testbenches.
 
alpha0005 -> alpha0006
For more information and examples, see specification_pltbutils.pdf .
1. One less file to be compiled:
src/vhdl/pltbutils_type_pkg.vhd has been removed.
2. testname() has been removed. Call starttest() and endtest() instead.
3. In the testbech top, replace
-- Simulation status- and control signals
signal test_num : integer;
-- VHDL-1993:
--signal test_name : string(pltbutils_test_name'range);
--signal info : string(pltbutils_info'range);
-- VHDL-2002:
signal test_name : string(pltbutils_sc.test_name'range);
signal info : string(pltbutils_sc.info'range);
 
signal checks : integer;
signal errors : integer;
signal stop_sim : std_logic;
with
-- Simulation status- and control signals
-- for accessing .stop_sim and for viewing in waveform window
signal pltbs : pltbs_t := C_PLTBS_INIT;
4. In the testbench top, under begin, remove
-- Simulation status and control for viewing in waveform window
-- VHDL-1993:
--test_num <= pltbutils_test_num;
--test_name <= pltbutils_test_name;
--checks <= pltbutils_chk_cnt;
--errors <= pltbutils_err_cnt;
-- VHDL-2002:
test_num <= pltbutils_sc.test_num;
test_name <= pltbutils_sc.test_name;
info <= pltbutils_sc.info;
checks <= pltbutils_sc.chk_cnt;
errors <= pltbutils_sc.err_cnt;
stop_sim <= pltbutils_sc.stop_sim;
5. Feed stop_sim input of testbench component with pltbs.stop_sim instead
of just stop_sim.
6. If the testcase procudure resides in a separate VHDL component,
that component should output pltbs of type pltbs_t.
7. The testcase process should instansiate the following variable:
variable pltbv : pltbv_t := C_PLTBV_INIT;
8. In calls to pltbutils procedures, replace the argument
pltbutils_sc
with
pltbv, pltbs
9. In the waveform window, replace the old simulation status signals
with pltbs, and expand it to view the member elements.
 
alpha0004 -> alpha0005
1. One more file needs to be compiled: src/vhdl/pltbutils_user_cfg_pkg.vhd .
2. Call starttest() before a test, and endtest() after.
Previously, testname() should be called before a test, but testname() is
now depricated and will be removed in a later version.
