sock.sv

A simple socket library for system verilog. Using the system verilog DPI, allows the user to read / write lines from a socket connection.

See sock.sv for the function definitions and example usage.

The windows branch of this code is the last time I tested it on windows... If you intend to use windows please let me know if master works still!

Todo

• Add support for windows named pipes

Quick Start

To get up and running with Modelsim Altera Starter edition on CentOS 6, first install the following additional packages:

• glibc.i686
• libXft.i686
• libXext.i686
• ncurses-libs.i686
• glibc-devel.i686
• zlib.i686
• libstdc++.i686

Then start up the test server - python test/tcp_server.py.

Finally, spin up vsim (/opt/altera/15.0/modelsim_ase/bin/vsim in my-case), and run the following in the vsim shell to test it out:

• vlib work
• vlog example.sv sock.sv sock.c
• vsim example
• run -all

If it all worked, it will say "Howdy Partner!"

To experiment with unix domain sockets, comment out line 58 of sock.sv and comment in line 59. Then use with python test/unix_server.py.
