Politecnico di Milano 2020
The project consists in developing a hardware component in VHDL implementing the Working Zone encoding of the provided addresses. The component interfaces with a memory from which it reads input data and where it writes the result of the conversion.
The documentation for the project is available on GitHub Pages at mrweiss0.github.io/project-reti-logiche-2020

Tests are implemented in test_p.vhd in test sources
with three procedures common for every testbench.
The data for each test are in a separated file
generated running the script test.py
with the configuration in test.ini.
Each section in the configuration generates a test with the given parameters,
values can be manually inserted or randomly generated.
Configuration parameters are explained in test.py.
