Hello,

I need to know if there are any good free Verilog Simulators.
Currently I am using Cadence Verilog at school but Cadence doesn't
seem to have a "student version" that I can download and use at home.

If anyone has any suggestions or web pages that they can direct me it
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There are some indeed. Although you may find instances (no pun) where
they are a little lacking in full capabilities. I use Icarus Verilog
(iverilog) which creates executables from your verilog code. There is
also ver, vbs, vIDE and maybe a few others. vIDE is a Java based tool
for simulation and debugging. A little slow but still shows promise for
at least student use (and hobbiers).

Good luck.

ps: you can find these by searching.

Most of the above you could find through

http://opencollector.org/summary.php3

There are also links to other free EDA tools


Good luck

Hi,
Can we consider the Verilog A/MS manual Version 2.0 from OVI
the latest standard on Verilog-A ( I'm not interesting for the moment
with the mixed-signal part)??

Does the Verilog-A LRM has been already fully implemented?

Thanks for any pointers on any existing University projects or company products
about Verilog-A.

Hector.

Cadence SpectreHDL supports Verilog-A.
You may want to go to http://www.cadence.com/
to find out more.

Try to check the OpenTech cdrom at

Sorry I'm about 18 years too late, but for those who are still searching, I just found a Verilog editor extension for the Eclipse IDE. The Eclipse IDE is a very handy tool in itself and is published under the GNU license, so it's more community-driven than Visual Studio. The plugin seems to be fully functional, so it seems to be a win-win for those of you still in need of a Verilog editor/simulator for your home.

I use the Lattice Semiconductor tools which include a free copy of the Aldec Active-HDL simulator which supports both Verilog and VHDL. I don't know so much about Verilog, but if you want to use VHDL-2008 you have to enable that option in every new project.
