Contents
--------
This distribution contains the following files:
PCK_FIO.vhd: VHDL source of the PCK_FIO package
TB_PCK_FIO.vhd: VHDL source of the testbench for package PCK_FIO
PCK_FIO.out.gold: Certified test bench output
PCK_FIO.html: Manual for PCK_FIO in html format
README: This file
Installation
------------
To install PCK_FIO, define a VHDL library called EASICS_PACKAGES, and
analyze the VHDL file PCK_FIO.vhd into this library.
To install the test bench, analyze TB_PCK_FIO.vhd into the same library.
If you want to use IEEE.numeric_std instead of IEEE.std_logic_arith, you need
to edit the source code of the package and the test bench and replace the
package use clause. PCK_FIO works with either of these packages.
To install the documentation, point your web browser to the file PCK_FIO.html
and bookmark it.
Installation check
------------------
After installing the test bench, you should run it. The corresponding VHDL
design unit is EASICS_PACKAGES.TBE_PCK_FIO(TB).
Simulating the test bench should create a file called PCK_FIO.out. This file
should be identical to PCK_FIO.out.gold. Any difference indicates a portability
issue or a simulator non-compliance or bug.
