Ruby-VPI is a Ruby interface to Verilog VPI. With it, you can create
complex Verilog test benches easily and wholly in Ruby.

http://ruby-vpi.rubyforge.org/


= Version 0.5 (2006-05-13)

== Summary

This release adds a tool which generates test benches, and adds
support for {Behavior Driven
Development}[http://behaviour-driven.org] via the
RSpec[http://rspec.rubyforge.org] library.

== Details

* A tool, which generates most of a Ruby-VPI test bench from a
Verilog 2001 module declaration, has been added.

* Ability to use RSpec in a test bench has been added.

* Ability to specify arbitrary command-line arguments to Verilog
simulators has been added in the examples' makefile template.

* Tested and developed using:
  * Ruby 1.8.4 and Icarus Verilog 0.8 on i686 GNU/Linux
  * Ruby 1.8.4 and Mentor Modelsim 6.1d on x86_64 GNU/Linux

== Acknowledgment

* Thanks to Scott L Holmes for helping me {use the RSpec library
without its
runner}[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.general/150087]
program.
