gEDA-user: Re: icarus verilog and jeda

[John Griessen <john_g@cibolo.com>]

I just heard this from the author of jeda and wonder what it is like 
to make a new VPI function or subroutine that is same as PLI 1.0?
Since jeda already supports PLI 1.0....

Have you made test benches that are PLI 1.0 compatible?

 Hi,

The legal issue is being solved. I put back the original sources
(up to 1.0.8) on the web. 
I'm waiting for the final signature to clear the issue, then I'll release
the new one. Hopefully it may be within one or two week.

My understanding is that Icarus verilog does not support PLI 1.0 interface,
so current Jeda won't work with it. I'm in the middle of coding VPI interface
layer, that will be ready in next-next release. My hope is to release it 
sometime in May. 

Thanks,
Atsushi
