on your branche tree add a symbolic link named periphondemand :
 
<pre class="host">
 
trunk/$ln -s src periphondemand
 
</pre>
 
 
Modify the binary "pod" file to add the path :
 
<pre class="host">
 
vim src/bin/pod
 
</pre>
 
 
Replace :
 
<source lang="python">
 
import periphondemand.bin.pod
 
import sys
 
periphondemand.bin.pod.main(sys.argv)
 
</source>
 
 
By :
 
<source lang="python">
 
import os,sys
 
sys.path.append("PATH_OF_YOUR_TRUNK/BRANCHE")
 
import periphondemand.bin.pod
 
periphondemand.bin.pod.main(sys.argv)
 
</source>
 
 
Then start POD using this binary :
 
<pre class="host">
 
$ ./periphondemand/bin/pod
 
</pre>

Prerequisites

mandatory

  • python : POD is written in python.
  • pyparsing : a python module to parse files.

On ubuntu, python is already installed, just install pyparsing package with command :

[  ] $ sudo apt-get install python-parsing

optional

  • ghdl, gtkwave : it's not mandatory, POD can generate VHDL testbench ready for ghdl simulator. As it's standard VHDL, another simulator should work.
  • ISE Webpack : to generate synthesis project for Xilinx.
  • Quartus : to generate synthesis project for Altera.
  • ARMadeus SDK : to generate driver project for the Armadeus boards.

Install from package

Note Note: For this moment, package must be created from svn repository. Release will be downloadable soon
  • Decompress the package PeriphOnDemand-X.X.tar.gz in install directory:
$ cd somewhere/
$ tar -zxvf PeriphOnDemand-X.X.tar.gz
  • Walk through periphondemand/ directory:
$ cd periphondemand
  • Then install POD with root privilege:
 $ sudo python setup.py install

Generate package from subversion tree

  • Checkout the source code with following command (subversion is needed):
$ svn co https://periphondemand.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/periphondemand/trunk periphondemand
$ cd periphondemand/
  • Make python POD distribution:
$ python setup.py sdist
  • The POD package can be found in directory dist/
