What we have?

SWIG Usage:

1. SWIG1.3a5 Typemap FAQ for Python
   Check here for more details. NEW!

2. Callback Support(Perl/Python/Tcl) for SWIG1.3a5
   A simple perl script is used to automate callback function wrapping in SWIG. The script filters out a function pointer and expands it into a language dependant callback function call.
   Current release(Perl/Python/Tcl version) is available here

3. Struct Marshaling Code Generation Support(Perl/Python/Tcl) for SWIG1.3a5
   A simple perl script is used to automate struct marshaling code generation in SWIG1.3a5. The script filters out "memberout" and "memberin" code from SWIG output and rearrages them into "in" and "out" typemaps.
   Current release(Perl/Python/Tcl version) is available here

4. Python Backend for SWIG1.3a6
   A library used to interface SWIG backend to Python scripts instead of using any C or C++ code for generating wrappers.
   Current alpha release is available here

1. Python Interface for CUDD
   This package links CUDD, a powerful BDD package, with Python. Check here for details and software release. NEW!
   

2. Tcl/Perl/Python Interface for VIS-1.4
   This package brings you a source-level compatible Tcl interface for VIS NEW!
   Current release is available here.
   For SIS, current release is available here.

3. Perl/Tcl/Python Interface for a physical design package
   This package exposes the DB subpackage to the scripting languages for UCLApack. NEW!
   Current release is available here.

4. Dynamic Scripting Language Translation
   Turn a tool's weird scripting language into your favorite one. Check here for more details. NEW!

5. Perl/Python/Tcl interface for Verilog PLI (vpi_* routines) NEW!
   This package links Verilog PLI to Perl/Python/Tcl. You can create your own system tasks/functions, and use the scripting language to do all the customization. All you have to do is just compiling the executable once and use it forever.

   All of the VPI functions can be accessed in the scripting languages, and you could name your own system tasks/functions. ScriptVlog will link the C level functions and embed a scripting language interpreter into the verilog executable.

   It can be used to

   • Writing hardware models in the scripting language
   • Dumping/Processing netlist data from Verilog database
   • Dumping/Processing simulation data
   • Feeding dynamic simulation stimuli
   • Backannotating delay information
   • Interactive logic simulation(with readline features from the scripting languages)
   • Building distributed simulation (with the help of (XML-)RPC call in the scripting languages)
   
   Current release is available here.

6. Python/Perl target module for Icarus Verilog NEW!
   This package turns Icarus Verilog target modules into Python/Perl scripts. You can create your own target modules in Python/Perl, and use the scripting language to do all the customization.
   Current release is available here.

7. Perl/Python/Tcl <-> LEF/DEF parser interface NEW!
   This package links the Cadence LEF/DEF parser to Perl/Python/Tcl. We consolidate Perl/Python/Tcl LEF/DEF interfaces into one package. Besides, the object interface is improved to reduce complexity.
   Current release(LEF interface) is available here.
   Current release(DEF interface) is available here.
   

8. Perl/Python/Tcl Interface for Gate-level Netlist Engine
   
   • To provide a fast engine to parse Verilog gate-level netlist, and provide basic functionality to query and operate in this database.
   • To handle SDF file with a very powerful string matching algorithm to solve the problem of SDF back-annotation.
   • Run time and memory usage are our first concern. We really want this tool can handle a 10M-gate netlist within several minutes.
   • See TODO list for possible future development direction. You are welcome to contribute your idea as well.
   Current release(Tcl version) is available here.
   Current release(Perl version) is available here.
   Current release(Python version) is available here.

9. Perl/Python/Tcl Interface to Synopsys .lib parser(TAPin liberty parser)
   Current release(Perl/Python/Tcl version) is available here

10. Tclsis
    This package links the Berkeley SIS package for logic synthesis. You don't even have to change your original SIS scripts to run. In addition, you can use any Tcl command to do scripting. Current release is available here.

11. Perlsis
    This package links the Berkeley SIS package for logic synthesis. Current release is available here.

12. Perllef
    This package links the Cadence LEF parser. Current release is available here.

13. Tcllef
    This package links the Cadence LEF parser. Current release is available here.
