DexterLab Command Parser | Dexter’s Laboratory

DexterLab Command Parser — Release 1.0.0

The DexterLab Command Parser is a standalone VHDL module that interprets structured .cmd files and generates formatted bus operations. It is designed for FPGA systems requiring configuration, debugging, automation, or monitoring through a command-driven interface.

Overview

The parser converts high‑level commands into structured AXI‑FULL, AXI‑LITE, AHB‑FULL, and AHB‑LITE transactions. It provides a unified command/response interface, supports DRY_RUN mode, and includes complete simulation environments and documentation.

Features

Full .cmd syntax support
Structured command decoding
Automatic response generation
Unified t_cmd_out / t_rsp_in interface
DRY_RUN mode
WAIT / POLL / DUMP mechanisms
Internal logging and status tracking
AXI/AHB backend compatibility
GHDL and Vivado simulation environments
Complete documentation set
