Regression Testing on Sigasi

Using Sigasi CLI for HDL Code Verification in GitLab CI

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Sigasi CLI is Sigasi’s new command line tool for HDL validation. With it, you can run the same powerful code validation as in Sigasi Visual HDL (SVH) from the command line. Code validation encompasses different aspects, such as syntax checking (is the code syntactically correct?), code linting (is there anything suspect in the code?) and style checking (does the code comply with coding guidelines?).

Using Sigasi CLI in Jenkins CI

Sigasi CLI runs our powerful code validation from the command line. This means that code validation is now possible without a GUI.

In this article, we demonstrate how you can run Sigasi CLI in a Continuous Integration (CI) environment, namely Jenkins . In a CI setup, code validation with CLI becomes part of regression testing and will help you maintain the quality of your HDL code. In the near future, we’re planning more articles on the CLI and continuous integration, so be sure to check back.

Introduction

Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are getting more and more important in today’s development processes, especially when working agile/lean by using DevOps principles. It helps to find errors earlier, makes designs more reliable, and in the end it takes pressure off the FPGA developers who too often have really long days and nights to meet deadlines.
