cocotb 2.0.1-2.1

Package Information

Descriptionlibrary for writing VHDL and Verilog testbenches in Python

cocotb is a coroutine based cosimulation library for writing VHDL and Verilog testbenches in Python.

cocotb encourages the same philosophy of design re-use and randomized testing as UVM, however is implemented in Python.

With cocotb, VHDL or SystemVerilog are normally only used for the design itself, not the testbench.

cocotb has built-in support for integrating with continuous integration systems, such as Jenkins, GitLab, etc. through standardized, machine-readable test reporting formats.

cocotb was specifically designed to lower the overhead of creating a test.

cocotb automatically discovers tests so that no additional step is required to add a test to a regression.

All verification is done using Python.
