Automatic VHDL Code Generation Programmatically

We are actually working on a Double Precision IIR filter. We are interested in making a very generic filter which could support variety of functionalities. For some reason, VHDL generics are not supe...

Hi All;

As a continuing thread to this discussion, I've provided a link to the video that I did last year on a PySide/Python GUI for automatic VHDL code generation. This GUI is built with Python and Qt/PySide. The only other python module used is Mako, where all the other functions are built with the standard library, such as regular expressions. However, another engineer and I put together a rapid application framework for building such GUI's, and we called it PyRad. The idea is that once a solid VHDL library or libraries modules are designed, then designing at the higher level with either a GUI or API based on python would allow for assembly of modules & rapid design. The programming paradigm is declarative.

p.s. There is a full screen button on the lower right of the video. Press this to see the GUI in the greatest detail.
