[Gnucap-devel] xml interface for gnucap

[Lemaitre Laurent-r29173]

Al,

I just started the implementation of the xml scripts of gnucap.
Attached are:
1- MOS1.va: a simple MOS in verilog-AMS.
2- gnucapMODULE.h.xsl: this script creates .h file (see below)
3- d_MOS1.h: device header file for gnucap

Can you give a try to the example?
Here is how it works (I assume you installed adms):
1- admsPreprocessor MOS1.va > MOS1.ve
   This command will create MOS1.ve. This file is MOS1.va - but preprocessed.
2- admsXml MOS1.ve -e gnucapMODULE.h.xsl
   This command transforms MOS1.ve and saves
   the transformation result in d_MOS1.h according to transformation rules 
specified in gnucapMODULE.h.xsl

Since I have many questions on the gnucap interface it will be great if you
try to understand what 1- and 2- do.
Then we can focus on the implementation of MOS1 into gnucap.

What is the good place to put the xml scripts for gnucap?
I can add them to sourceforge.net (adms project). But I don't know if it is
the best choice.

Thanks,
