Hi VHDL GNU men,
Amontec is interested to build an auto-documentation of our VHDL libraries, cell-by-cell.
The documentation will stay basic, like : general description port description generic description implementation description license description note description
The goal is to do a interface documentation for the end-user.
Now, we know the power of XML for this kind of documentation. The advantage of XML is the structural view like VHDL. Having a VHDL library documented in a XML format, we will be able to describe the hardware of a SoC very quickly, and to ask XML to re-generate a VHDL concatenated file of our XML description ... oopps)
The start-point will becomes the end-point (VHDL bottom-up design to XML up-down design)
I will be interested if some VHDL men have a VHDL to XML parser, thinking documentation only.
Or is that better to do a parser to correct my VHDL libraries inserting directly the XML format in the vhdl comment.
Let me know if some are interested to work with Amontec on this JOB.
