Dear Experts,
i'd like to introduce to my design one register containing a firmware
revision. Very probably the firmware revision would be a data when the
VHDL code was checked out from the CVS repository where I store the
project.
The problem I encounter is how to translate the CVS last-commit data
of the project currently checked out, and translate it into VHDL code
to be a part of the project.
Example:
yesterday i committed at the end of day the whole project, thus when I
check it out today and burn, one of the registers I ex****t should
contain yesterday's date as a firmware revision
i check out the project corresponding to a date 2 weeks ago, the
firmware register should contain a number corresponding to date at
which the version of the project I have checked out was committed.
This would allow very easily match the firmware and CVS source
together.....
any ideas how to do it?
thanks
david
