Peripherals On Demand

Re: Peripherals On Demand

Could be a speed up tool for some purposes?

Yes, it speed up component assembly. If your components are ready in library, you can make a final bitstream fastly.

Does it generate intermediate code in VHDL or verilog 2001
to feed into the "external proprietary software" to synthetize and configure the FPGA?

For this moment, it generate only VHDL intermediate code. But it designed to be multi-language then Verilog can be added in tool.

VHDL is hinted in fig 2. of the spec.

Yes, because only VHDL is supported for this moment.

Your spec says, "several simulation libraries can be used to ease testbench writing." Is icarus verilog one of them?

To add a third party simulation software, specific code for the tool must be added in directory periphondemand/toolchain/simulation/. But for this moment POD doesn't generate Verilog code.
