Third Party Libraries

The PoC-Library is shiped with different third party libraries, which are located in the <PoCRoot>/lib/ folder. This document lists all these libraries, their websites and licenses.

OSVVM

Open Source VHDL Verification Methodology (OS-VVM) is an intelligent testbench methodology that allows mixing of “Intelligent Coverage” (coverage driven randomization) with directed, algorithmic, file based, and constrained random test approaches. The methodology can be adopted in part or in whole as needed. With OSVVM you can add advanced verification methodologies to your current testbench without having to learn a new language or throw out your existing testbench or testbench models.

Updating Linked Git Submodules

The third party libraries are embedded as Git submodules. So if the PoC-Library was not cloned with option --recursive it’s required to run the sub-module initialization manually:

On Linux

cd PoCRoot
git submodule init
git submodule update

We recommend to rename the default remote repository name from ‘origin’ to ‘github’.

cd PoCRoot\lib\

Todo

write Bash code for Linux

On OS X

Please see the Linux instructions.

On Windows

cd PoCRoot
git submodule init
git submodule update

We recommend to rename the default remote repository name from ‘origin’ to ‘github’.

cd PoCRoot\lib\
foreach($dir in (dir -Directory)) {
  cd $dir
  git remote rename origin github
  cd ..
}
