prerequisites

mandatory

  • python : POD is written in python.

optional

  • ghdl, gtkwave  : it's not mandatory, POD can generate VHDL testbench ready for ghdl simulator, but it's standard VHDL then another simulator should work.
  • ISE Webpack : to generate synthesis project for xilinx.
  • Quartus : to generate synthesis project for altera.
  • ARMadeus : to generate driver project for armadeus board.

install from package

Decompress the package PeriphOnDemand-X.X.tar.gz in install directory: 

$ tar -zxvf PeriphOnDemand-X.X.tar.gz

Walk through periphondemand/ directory: 

$ cd periphondemand

Then install POD with root privilege: 

root$> python setup.py install

generate package from subversion tree

Checkout the source code with command (subversion is needed): 

$svn co https://periphondemand.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/periphondemand periphondemand

Make python POD distribution: 

$python setup.py sdist

The POD package can be found in directory dist/
