Template Definition LanguageChips are specified in a Hardware Description Language, or HDL. Each chip, e.g. a full-adder, is represented in an HDL program, e.g. FullAdder.hdl. To debug the chip, the designer loads the HDL program into a hardware simulator and experiments with it, subjecting it to various tests. The tests can be ran interactively, using the simulator_s GUI, or batch-style, using a series of pre-defined tests specified in a script.Test scripts are written in a TDL. This document describes the subset of TDL commands designed for testing chips. Other features of TDL, designed for testing the overall CPU and the Virtual Machine, are described in separate documents.(Definition adapted from the original specification document)
