Abstract

Automatic code generation is a standard method in software engineering, improving the code reliability as well as reducing the overall development time. In hardware engineering, automatic code generation is utilized within a number of development tools, the integrated code generation functionality, however, is not exposed to developers wishing to implement their own generators. In this paper, VHDL Manipulation and Generation Interface (vMAGIC), a Java library to read, manipulate, and write VHDL code is presented. The basic functionality as well as the designflow is described, stressing the advantages when designing with vMAGIC. Two real‐world examples demonstrate the power of code generation in hardware engineering.
