Which free VHDL simulator can I use?
If you don't have aVHDLsimulator yet, we would recommend the following simulators. You can download them free of charge.
Simulator | Download from | Windows | Linux | MacOSX |
---|---|---|---|---|
Aldec Active-HDL, Student Edition | Aldec Download page | Yes | No | No |
ModelSim Altera Starter Edition | Altera Quartus Web Edition | Yes | Yes | No |
ISim | Xilinx Webpack | Yes | Yes | No |
Simili | SymphonyEDA website | Yes | Yes | No |
GHDL | GHDLwebsite | Yes | Yes | Yes |
We have not had great results with FreeHDL or with Green MountainVHDL. It seems that these projects may have been terminated.
GHDLon MacOSXuses Wine, but works without problems.
