Tydi example for TVLSI

In order to recreate the example from the TVLSI paper, access to several Tydi tools is necessary. The easiest way to do this is to get the Tydi-tools docker image. Clone the repo and build the Dockerfile.

git clone https://github.com/abs-tudelft/Tydi-tools.git
cd Tydi-tools
docker build . -t tydi-tools

Then, go to this project's directory and run the container with a volume bind as follows

docker run -it --rm --name tydi-tools-container -v .:/root/tvlsi-example tydi-tools /bin/bash

Then, once inside the container, run

cd tvlsi-example
make
# or
json_hierachy -i student.json --parser-name "student_schema_parser" --epc 8
tydi-lang-complier -c ./tydi_example_project.toml
tl2chisel output output/json_IR.json
scala-cli output/json_IR_generation_stub.scala output/json_IR_main.scala StudentFilterImpl.scala DecompressorWrap.scala

You can ignore any errors about unused variables. The Verilog code will be printed and saved in output/example.v.
