Open Source VHDL/Verilog Software

Icarus Verilog is an open source Verilog compiler that supports the IEEE-1364 Verilog HDL including IEEE1364-2005 plus extensions.

This directory contains the sources of GHDL, the open-source analyzer, compiler, simulator and (experimental) synthesizer for VHDL, a Hardware Description Language (HDL). GHDL is not an interpreter: it allows you to analyze and elaborate sources for generating machine code from your design. Native program execution is the only way for high-speed simulation. Full support for the 1987, 1993, 2002 versions of the IEEE 1076 VHDL standard, and partial for the 2008 and 2019 revisions. By using a code generator (LLVM, GCC or, x86_64/i386 only, a built-in one), it is much faster than any interpreted simulator. It can handle very large designs, such as leon3/grlib. GHDL runs on GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS; on x86, x86_64, armv6/armv7/aarch32, aarch64 and ppc64. You can freely download nightly assets, use OCI images (aka Docker/Podman containers), or try building it on your own machine.

GHDL is the leading open source VHDL simulator. *** Now on github.com/tgingold/ghdl *** We have binary distributions for Debian Linux, Mac OSX and Windows. On other systems, getting GHDL from here means downloading the current source package and building GHDL from source. Alternatively you can get the latest source version (warning : occasionally unstable!) by pulling a snapshot from the git repository.

ADMS is a code generator that converts electrical compact device models specified in high-level description language into ready-to-compile c code for the API of spice simulators. Repository migrated to: https://github.com/Qucs/ADMS For checkout do: git clone https://github.com/Qucs/ADMS.git

Tools for FPGA development and IP cores. This project provides tools, cores and documentation to develope FPGA applications. The project focuses on VHDL.

The Red Pitaya is a commercial, affordable FPGA board with fast analog inputs and outputs. This makes it useful for quantum optics experiments, in particular as a digital feedback controller for analog systems. Based on the open source software provided by the board manufacturer, PyRPL (Python RedPitaya Lockbox) implements many devices that are needed for optics experiments with the Red Pitaya. PyRPL implements various digital signal processing (DSP) modules (see features below). It allows to arbitrarily interconnect the available DSP modules and retrieve signal values on timescales below 1 ms. The graphical user interface (GUI) provides a realtime display of the various measurement instruments and allows the easy configuration of DSP signal chains and feedback controllers. At the highest abstraction level, arbitrary feedback sequences can be defined to fulfill tasks as complex as approaching and locking a resonance of a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity (tested up to finesse=100,000).

FSMDesigner is a C++ based implementation for a Finite State Machine (FSM) design tool with integrated Hardware Description Language (HDL) generation. FSMDesigner4 uses the Simple-Moore FSM model guaranteeing efficient fast complex control circuits.

CRC Generator is a command-line application that generates Verilog or VHDL code for CRC of any data width between 1 and 1024 and polynomial width between 1 and 1024. The code is written in C for Win32, bus easily portable for other platforms

A simple Embedded System Framework that allows rapid development of applications build for AVR family. System is based on a super-loop architecture with check and skip (no-wait) flag event driver system. Supports: UART, SysTick Timer, ADC, SPI, EEPROM, PWM. Also supports: Xilinx FPGA configuration, FPGA SSI interface, smart card reader etc. Tested partially (different modules in each case) on ATMega163/16/32/323/8. Awards CodeProject 2010, Third Prize, Hardware and Device Programming Check the Wiki Page for more details.

bel_fft is a FFT co-processor that can calculate FFTs with arbitrary radix. It is a hardware implementation of the free software Kiss FFT ("Keep it simple, Stupid!"). The target was to allow a simple replacement of the software code with the hardware implementation. Therefore bel_fft comes with a software driver that is compatible with the Kiss FFT routines. bel_fft also has a modular architecture and allows interfacing different bus architectures. So far AMBA AXI, Altera's Avalon bus and the Wishbone bus are supported. However, bel_fft's architecture allows an easy adaptation to further bus architectures (e.g. AMBA AHB). It comes with a Java wizard to configure the co-processor and to generate all required files (e.g. twiddle ROMs). It comes with integration into Xilinx Vivado, EDK, and Altera QSYS and includes example designs for Xilinx Zynq and with PCI-Express core (including Linux driver and application). bel_fft is distributed under the GNU Lesser Public License 2.1.

OpenSOC86 is an open implementation of the x86 architecture in Verilog. The current version only implements the 16-bit part (real mode). The processor is a pipelined architecture clocked at 100 MHz in a Cyclone II speed grade -6. Therefore it can be seen as similar to a 486 in real mode. Several peripherals are also implemented in a somewhat minimalistic way, but enough to be able to boot an IBM PCXT compatible bios and MSDOS 6.22. The current implementation is only proven to boot the bios and DOS in simulation. The system is targeted to run on the DE2-70 board. In order to run the system in hardware a SDRAM and SRAM controller need to be added. These are currently in development.

A programmable signal generator and RF synthesizer for scientific experiments, especially quantum computing and quantum information processing. It includes hardware, firmware, software, and documentation, all under an open source license.

VeriWell is a full Verilog simulator. It supports nearly all of the IEEE1364-1995 standard, as well as PLI 1.0. Yes, VeriWell *is* the same simulator that was sold by Wellspring Solutions in the mid-1990 and was included with the Thomas and Moorby book

vrq is verilog parser that supports plugin tools to process verilog. Current plugins include tools to perform x-propagation and to auto build hiearchy.

Verilog processor for Notepad++. Current features: - Instantiate a module - Insert registers/wires from a module - Generate a test bench template - Automatically inserts a default header for a test bench - Insert a clocked always block v1.2.0 now supports ANSI and non-ANSI module declarations. To use this plugin, select the module declaration (including parameter and I/O definitions below for non-ANSI) and click SHIFT-CTRL-C. This selects the module and parses its components. After this, all other functions are available.

Powerful Verilog Preprocessor. PLP stands for Perl Pre-processor. Perl is used as "control language" that is embedded in the Verilog code (or any other code) to generate code on the fly. It is used commonly as a Verilog pre-processor but can be used with any target/output language (C, C++, Java, VHDL, plain text etc)
