Constructor Detail

DVApplication

public DVApplication(DVSimulation dvSim)

Creates a new DVApplication.

Parameters:

dvSim - the DVSimulation that will be associated with this DVApplication

Method Detail

registerObject

public void registerObject(String name,
                           com.newisys.verilog.VerilogObject obj)

Registers a Verilog object with this DVApplication.

Specified by:

registerObject in class com.newisys.verilog.VerilogApplication

Parameters:

name - the name of the object

obj - the Verilog object to register

registerSignal

public void registerSignal(String name,
                           com.newisys.verilog.VerilogObject sampleObj,
                           com.newisys.verilog.VerilogObject driveObj)

Registers a signal with this DVApplication.

Specified by:

registerSignal in class com.newisys.verilog.VerilogApplication

Parameters:

name - the name of the signal

sampleObj - the Verilog object to be used when sampling the signal

driveObj - the Verilog object to be used when driving the signal

registerVerilogTask

public void registerVerilogTask(String name,
                                com.newisys.verilog.VerilogReg startReg,
                                com.newisys.verilog.VerilogReg doneReg,
                                com.newisys.verilog.VerilogObject[] argVars)

Registers a verilog task with this DVApplication.

Specified by:

registerVerilogTask in class com.newisys.verilog.VerilogApplication

Parameters:

name - the name of the task

startReg - the Verilog register that is written when the task has started

doneReg - the Verilog register that is written when the task has completed

argVars - an array of VerilogObjects used to hold arguments to the task

callJavaTask

public void callJavaTask(String name,
                         com.newisys.verilog.VerilogReg doneReg,
                         com.newisys.verilog.VerilogObject[] argVars)

Executes a registered Java task. The given task will be scheduled for execution in a new simulation thread. When the task completes, the given register will be set to 1'b1.

This method must be called from the main/HDL simulator thread.

Specified by:

callJavaTask in class com.newisys.verilog.VerilogApplication

Parameters:

name - the name of the java task

doneReg - the Verilog register that will be written when the java task is complete

argVars - an array of VerilogObjects used to hold arguments to the task

start

public void start()

Starts execution of this DVApplication. This method will fork a new SimulationThread and begin executing the Runnable.run() method of the derived class.

Specified by:

start in class com.newisys.verilog.VerilogApplication

finish

public void finish()

Terminates all threads and ends this DVApplication.

Specified by:

finish in class com.newisys.verilog.VerilogApplication
