A test vector file generator written in C++ for creating stimuli and expected
response files for hardware designs. These files can then be read by an
arbitrary test bench and applied to the design under test. The TVGenerator can
either generate a single test vector file containing both the stimuli and the
expected responses within a single file, or it can distribute it to two
distinct files.
A documentation of the TVGenerator class, created using
Doxygen, is available
here.
The TVGenerator uses the
StdLogicVector class in order to
represent signals of arbitrary length and to provide an easy to use conversion
between number representations of several bases (decimal, binary, hexadecimal,
etc.).
Personally, I usually use the TVGenerator as a dynamic library and link it
against a certain main program, which uses it to generate the respective test
vector file(s). This main program is most of the time a testing environment
for a software model I have written for a certain hardware architecture I am
going to design.
