This is a python package designed to convert a uHAL-compatible XML address table into a set of hierarchical VHDL records who structure mirrors the XML address table itself.

It runs on python2 or python3 and can create either AXI or Wishbone decoders.

Generate MEM_TEST_map.vhd and MEM_TEST_pkg.vhd in ./test/simple using the xmlfile ./example_xml/MEM_TEST.xml using the map template file templates/axi_generic/template_map_withbram.vhd

• with the simple parser (i.e. no uHAL)

./build_vhdl_packages.py -s True -x example_xml/MEM_TEST.xml -o test/simple \
    --mapTemplate templates/axi_generic/template_map_withbram.vhd MEM_TEST

• with the normal uHAL parser (working python uHAL must be installed)

./build_vhdl_packages.py -x example_xml/MEM_TEST.xml -o test/uHAL/ \
    --mapTemplate templates/axi_generic/template_map_withbram.vhd MEM_TEST

Generate CM_USP_map.vhd and CM_USP_pkg.vhd in ./test/simple using the xmlfile ./example_xml/CM_USP.xml using the map template file templates/axi_generic/template_map_withbram.vhd

• with the simple parser (i.e. no uHAL)

./build_vhdl_packages.py -s True -x example_xml/CM_USP.xml -o test/simple  CM_USP

• with the normal uHAL parser (working python uHAL must be installed)

./build_vhdl_packages.py -x example_xml/CM_USP.xml -o test/uHAL CM_USP
