Sublime Text doesn’t support Verilog language as valid syntax extension.Makefile assumes that you put the OSX executable under /Applications/ folder. Visit webpage to download the application.It works much better (more stable) than gtkwave under OSX. This application is used to investigate.Run brew install gtkwave to install on OSX system.It was not very stable under OSX, so I moved on to other tool. This application can be used to investigate.Run brew install verilator to install on OSX system.
Hit make clean to delete any generated files.Hit make gtkwave to open up the GTKWave application with recently created signal file.Hit make scansion to open up the Scansion application with recently created signal file.Hit make lint to trigger linting using Verilator.Testbench’s output stream ($display, $monitor function outputs and also any error/log messages) directed to $TESTBENCHNAME_log.txt file to make later analysis more convenient.Hit make simulate to simulate the codebase and run the testbench using Icarus Verilog.Modify $dumpfile("top_tb.vcd") line in the testbench code.Change TESTBENCH variable for another test bench file name …Īlso, if you want to change the resulting waveform file:.Change SRCS variable with new source file names ….If you want to change the example structure, see the Makefile then: top_tb.v: Testbench module that instantiates the top module and feeds the neccessary test signals to the module.top.v: Main top module that instantiates an up_counter and clken_gen module.clken_gen.v: Clock enable pulse generator module with clock and reset inputs.up_counter.v: 8bit unsigned up counter with clock, reset and enable inputs.There are four different Verilog source files: Everything should be working under Linux as well (expect Scansion) though I haven’t tested yet. Here you can find a bare-bones, OSX based Verilog simulation toolchain that I created using several different tools. Furthermore, easy to use and FOSS simulators like Icarus Verilog and Verilator also (in stable sense) only support Verilog.
For example, IceStrom project only supports Verilog. One can say VHDL is second class citizen in open source software / hardware world. Below, you can find the Readme file that I prepared for the codebase. Then, I created a small solution for myself and put it on to GitHub. I recently tried to make myself more comfortable to Verilog world with minimum big software tools.
