To allow early validation of Objective VHDL, a precompiler approach was chosen to implement the object-oriented extensions to VHDL. The precompiler produces standard VHDL code which can be used for further design steps (simulation, synthesis). A demo version of the Objective VHDL Analyzer/Translator and message passing tool can be downloaded from: http://eis.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/research/objective_vhdl.html For feedback or questions please contact: support@babbage.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de
