ghdl-updates

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.

An excellent tool—arguably the only freeware solution that delivers full IEEE compliance for VHDL verification.

Excellent, I used it to make an obfuscator Tool: vhdl-obfuscator in sourceforge Thanks.

Outstanding. I've been using it with Xilinx's Unisim and XilinxCoreLib packages without any problems now. Very responsive and professional development team.

I used GHDL for a project several years ago and found it to be excellent! Looking forward to trying it again.
