cocotb-vivado

A limited Python/cocotb interface to the Xilinx Vivado Simulator simulator. Based on cocotb-stub-sim.

The project is at a proof of concept stage

• Only top-level ports are accessible (simulator limitation).
• It supports the Timer trigger (simulator limitation).
• Setting signal values is immediate, as one would use setimmediatevalue (simulator limitation).
• Only Verilog at the top level is supported (to do).
