IDE for VHDL

(1/3) > >>

NivagSwerdna:
It's been a while since I have done any VHDL and I am re-visiting it now so I need...


* an IDE (preferably one that understands syntax and maybe can help me out with templates)
* something that will compile VHDL
* something that will simulate my small VHDL
I don't need to synthesize anything so I don't need to be vendor specific but maybe a lite version of a vendor tool would be best

Suggestions?  My default would be to reinstall an old Quartus II I have somewhere

EEEnthusiast:
I too recommend to use Quartus Lite. It can do everything you said and can program CPLD/FPGA for you. And it is free to use as well for most of the FPGA devices out there.

fourtytwo42:
You could use Modelsim on it's own also.
The only problems with all these things are they are insanely sensitive to platform eg XP/WIN/LINUX/32/64

I am presently running Quartus/Msim V12.0 on XP/32 having failed to get anything to run on Linux/64!
For those of us forced to run older versions there are also built in traps such as file format incompatibilities, so beware!

tggzzz:

* Choose the device/family you are going to use
* Use the manufacturer's toolset
* Use VHDL or Verilog or another option supported by the toolset
* Use linux if there's an option
You will use the manufacturer's toolset, unless you limit yourself to that ICE thingy.

This is not targeted at SPECIFIC hardware... it's an online MOOC I signed up to
