Quick Start

Get systemC:

http://www.accellera.org/downloads/standards/systemc/

Install:

python-mediainfodll
python-cffi
python-cheetah

Run:

make

Run the example simulation:

make testsuiteexample

or

cd ./testsuite && python -m unittest test_basicSimulation_DB.Test

create your own simulations:

Go to "./testsuite" and look at the existing tests. Edit them, or write your own test to simulate something. To run them: make sure you are in ./testsuite type:

python -m unittest filename.classname

or do:

python filename

Build

Requirements

systemC

Please get SystemC from the Website:

http://www.accellera.org/downloads/standards/systemc/

and save in the same Directory as this README file.

python

Please make sure the following python extansions are installed:

mediainfodll
cffi
cheetah

In Ubuntu, run:

sudo apt-get install python-mediainfodll python-cffi python-cheetah

Make

To build everything, run:

make all

This will build systemc, download BiTStream, rapidjson and compile the simulator.

To run an example, run:

make testsuiteexample

To clean up, run :

make clean

The systemc tgz will remain as well as the downloaded streams.

TestSuite

testcases/Simulations

To set up and run the Simulations, use testcases. There is an example configuration which can be found in ./testsuite named test_pipeline.py.

Indexer

There is an indexer that build an Index of all available files. To use the script you will need:

python-mediainfodll python-cffi

To run:

cd testsuite
./index_files.py -name=<dbname> [-json] [-save]

Depending on the configuration, the script will read SD and HD files from "helper_functions/streams.py" and parse them. !!! This may take some time.

For help see

./index_files.py -h
