Developing design: moving average filter. Part 6 – reading and writing to the files.
I had a break in developing filter (last part is here), but before doing next steps, I had to make a short introduction to working with files in VHDL. You can read about it here, here and here. Now I am going to use that knowledge and move on with the filter. In the last part I implemented the filter in Octave, generated test vectors, sent them through the filter and wrote all data to files.
Now it is time to start building testbench, where the filter could be easily and automatically verified with different test vectors. To achieve it, testbench has to read data from a file and pass it to the filter and then, write output values from the filter to another file.
