    <p>I would like to write a VPI/PLI interface which will open audio files (i.e. wav, aiff, etc) and present the data to Verilog simulator. I am using Icarus at the moment and wish to use libsndfile to handle input file formats and data type conversion.</p> <p>I am not quite sure what to use in the C code ... have looked at IEEE 1364-2001 and still confused which functions am I supposed to use.</p> <p>Ideally I'd like to have a verilog module with data port (serial or parallel), clock input and start/stop pin. I'd like to implement two modules, one for playback from from a file, and another would record output from a filter under test.</p> <p><strong>Can I do it all in C and just instantiate the module in my testbench or I'll have to write a function (say <code>$read_audio_data</code>) and wrapper module to call it on each clock pulse ??</strong></p> <p>Hm, or may be I need to create the module and then get a handle for it and pass value/vect to the handle somehow ?</p> <p>I am not quite concerned about how file names will be set, as I probably wouldn't do it from the verilog code anyway. And I will probably stick to 24-bit integer samples for the time being and <code>libsndfile</code> supposed to handle conversion quite nicely. Perhaps, I'll stick to serial for now (may be even do in the I2S-like fashion) and de-serialise it in Verilog if needed.</p> <p>Also I have looked at Icarus <a href="ftp://icarus.com/pub/eda/verilog/plug-ins/image-vpi/" rel="nofollow">plug-in</a> which implements a video camera that reads PNG files, though there are many more aspects to image processing then there is to audio. Hence that code looks a bit overcomplicated to me at the moment - neither I managed to get it to run.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
