+
+-- Purpose:
+-- Test bench for dp_sync_checker
+-- Description:
+-- The tb verifies the DUT using the proc_dp_gen_block_data procedure to
+-- generate stimuli. The data field of the output stream is verified.
+-- Remark:
+-- Both sample level and frame level flow control via src_in are not tested,
+-- because is is not yet implemented.
+-- Usage:
+-- > as 6
+-- > run -all
+-- . signal tb_end will stop the simulation by stopping the clk
+-- . the tb is self checking
