<!--quotebegin-jesse@Jul 29 2004, 04:23 PM europa is, in my opinion, one of the coolest things since sliced bread. i really dislike writing vhdl/verilog now... --- Quote End --- Yes, it looks like it would be that, but when you look at the Europa-using components in the library... almost all of the comments have been stripped out. Add in the fact that Perl naturally obfuscates things (esp. when you don't "use English;"), and it gets painful. (Disclaimer: I know Perl and Python, and given the choice, I use Python for anything bigger than about ten lines.) In addition, it looks like the em_whatever.pl files were generated by something else (the large regions of whitespace are a dead giveaway). So we've got metaprogramming happening here. It's like trying to write a C++ parser without flex & bison. My head hurts. --- Quote Start --- originally posted by jesse@Jul 29 2004, 04:23 PM to answer your question -- i am not suggesting you do this, or saying that you even *can* do this, but then we ship most things open source, so addressing your question is pretty easy, just grep your sopc_builder installation for the string "copyright © 1991-2004 altera corporation"... i think the answer will present itself. --- Quote End --- D'oh!
