uvm语法高亮

RTL顶层自动连线听说过吗?想学吗?我们今天就来介绍自动连线的神器——emacs verilog-mode。

emacs是什么?

江湖流传版:传说中神的编辑器。

维基百科版:Emacs(Editor MACroS,宏编辑器),最初由Richard Stallman于1975年在MIT协同Guy Lewis Steele Jr.共同完成。

verilog-mode是什么

官网的介绍(https://www.veripool.org/wiki/verilog-mode):

Verilog-mode.el is the extremely popular free Verilog mode for Emacs which provides context-sensitive highlighting, auto indenting, and provides macro expansion capabilities to greatly reduce Verilog coding time. It supports AUTOs and indentation in Emacs for traditional Verilog (1394-2005), the Open Verification Methodology (OVM) and SystemVerilog (1800-2005/1800-2009).
Recent versions allow you to insert AUTOS in non-AUTO designs, so IP interconnect can be easily modified. You can also expand SystemVerilog ".*" port instantiations, to see what ports will be connected by the simulators.

简单点说就是支持Verilog、SystemVerilog(包括UVM)的emacs语法高亮文件。其中提到Verilog-mode支持Autos——这就是今天的重点。

Verilog-mode是由Michael McNamara mac@verilog.com和Wilson Snyder wsnyder@wsnyder.org编写。难能可贵的是,这个verilog-mode保持着每月都有更新。

值得一提的是Wilson Snyder就是SystemVerilog开源仿真器Verilator的作者。

verilog-mode Autos有哪些功能

手动编写的verilog代码:

module example (/*AUTOARG*/);
input i;
output o;
/*AUTOINPUT*/
/*AUTOOUTPUT*/
/*AUTOREG*/

inst inst (/*AUTOINST*/);

always @ (/*AUTOSENSE*/) begin
o = i;
end

endmodule

由Autos处理后的Verilog代码:

module example (/*AUTOARG*/
// Outputs
lower_out, o,
// Inputs
lower_inb, lower_ina, i
);
input i;
output o;
/*AUTOINPUT*/
// Beginning of automatic inputs
input lower_ina; // To inst of inst.v
input lower_inb; // To inst of inst.v
// End of automatics
/*AUTOOUTPUT*/
// Beginning of automatic output
output lower_out; // From inst of inst.v
// End of automactics
/*AUTOREG*/
// Beginning of automatic regs
reg o;
// End of automatics

inst inst (/*AUTOINST*
// Outputs
.lower_out (lower_out),
// Inputs
.lower_inb (lower_inb),
.lower_ina (lower_ina));

always @ (/*AUTOSENSE*/
i) begin
o = i;
end

大家可以看到,verilog-mode自动分析出:

  • 模块的端口输入和输出

  • 内部变量

  • 敏感信号列表

  • 提取子模块的端口定义

自动提取子模块的端口定义来连线是今天的重点中的重点。一般来讲,我们实例化模块时大部分的信号名与子模块定义的名字一致即可。如上面代码中的:

  inst inst (/*AUTOINST*
// Outputs
.lower_out (lower_out),
// Inputs
.lower_inb (lower_inb),
.lower_ina (lower_ina));

特殊连接关系的处理

但常常我们顶层连接时会换一个名字。比如module A有一个输出端口dat_o,module B有一个输入端口dat_i,这两者怎么连?定义模版AUTO_TEMPLATE,如下:

手动编写的verilog:

/* A AUTO_TMEPLATE (
.dat_o (dat_a2b),
)
*/

A u_A (/*AUTOINST*/);

/* B AUTO_TEMPLATE (
.dat_i (dat_a2b),
)
*/

B u_B (/*AUTOINST*/);

由Autos处理后的verilog代码:

/* A AUTO_TMEPLATE (
.dat_o (dat_a2b),
)
*/

A u_A (/*AUTOINST*/
// Outputs
.dat_o (dat_a2b)); // Templated

/* B AUTO_TEMPLATE (
.dat_i (dat_a2b),
)
*/

B u_B (/*AUTOINST*/
// Inputs
.dat_i (dat_a2b)); // Templated

在哪里找子模块定义?

默认规则:

  • 当前文件夹下找

  • 当前找不到怎么办,指定搜索路径(与verilog仿真器的参数-y一样)

使用方法:在顶层endmodule后面指定verilog-library-directories,如下:

endmodule // top

// Local Variables:
// verilog-library-directories:("." "subdir" "subdirs")
// End:

除了写模版还需要做什么?

只需要Ctrl-C Ctrl-A,仅此而已。

如果修改了子模块或者模版,再按一次Ctrl-C Ctrl-A。

verilog-mode下载、安装

新版的GNU Emacs自带verilog-mode,如果需要最新的verilog-mode可以在官网下载:

VIM用户咋办?

可以用VIM调动shell命令执行(emacs批处理模式),例如:

:!emacs --batch  <filenames.v>  -f verilog-batch-auto

是不是很简单!
