Cocotb Snippets

Welcome to the Cocotb Snippets extension! This extension provides a collection of code snippets tailored for Cocotb, a coroutine-based co-simulation testbench framework for writing testbenches in Python. These snippets help you quickly generate boilerplate code and common patterns used in Cocotb, making your development process more efficient.

Features

• Basic Cocotb Testbench Structure: Quickly scaffold a basic testbench with a simple test case.
• Clock Generator: Insert a ready-to-use clock generator for driving clock signals.
• Makefile template: Basic Makefile for the verilog files.

Additional snippets and updates will be provided in future releases.

Usage

• Install the extension.
• In the Python test file / Makefile, type "coco" to initialise intellisense.
• Select the desired snippet.
