Hi,
I have seen the project
openCPI but I'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for. Hoping that someone will point me in the right direction.
I am writing some VHDL code and I was hoping to use GNURadio to test it. When I'm finished, I will compile and deploy it using Quartus II so I am not looking for full integration, deployment, cross platform... just testing my code as a GNURadio block.
At the moment I'm using
vunit where I have a testbench that reads a file and sends it to my VHDL block and writes the output to another file.
Is there any way to create a python or C++ block and in the 'work' function I call whatever magic this vunit is doing? If I could go from a VHDL block to a GNURadio block where I have signals as inputs and outputs I could test it in "real time" which would be awesome.
I'm not expecting good performance or lots of features, just inputs and outputs. Is there a project that would help me do this? I have read part of the openCPI documentation that gives me the impression that it could be used but setting that up looks far more complex than the VHDL code that I want to implement... J!
Cheers,
Murray
