A project to develop a free, open source, GPL'ed VHDL simulator for Linux!


Project goals:

To develop a VHDL simulator that:

  • Has a graphical waveform viewer.
  • Has a source level debugger.
  • Is VHDL-93 compliant.
  • Is of commercial quality. (on par with, say, V-System - it'll take us a while to get there, but that should be our aim)
  • Is freely distributable - both source and binaries - like Linux itself. (Under the Gnu General Public License (GPL)).
  • Works with Linux. If others want to port it to other platforms they may, but it is not the goal of this project.

News:

FreeHDL is used by Qucs for digital simulation. Qucs is a circuit simulator with graphical user interface. Qucs aims to support all kinds of circuit simulation types, e.g. DC, AC, S-parameter, Transient, Noise and Harmonic Balance analysis. It is available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/qucs.
