Post19 Feb 2007 4:40   What's the best VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog editor?
tags: system verilog editor systemverilog editor vhdl editor system verilog software

I'm finding a good VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog editor software, but it looks like not optimal. Most of software are designed for C/C++/Java coding, not suitable for hardware description languare...
Would you like give me some suggestion on this?

I have used gVim and I can say that it's more than great .. but still, most of my friends say that emacs is better

ModelSim and Xilinx ISE are the best for Simulation and ASIC downloading.
Leonardo Spectrum s best for systhesis point of View.

I configured nEdit to accept .va, .vams and .vhdl, i think it's wonderfull..
Also i configured vim to be as great as nEdit..

I think they're not speaking about tools to simulate or design here ..

GVIM is the best editor, in all the editor i have ever seen.
I haven't used emacs yet, but believe me if you are having gud command on gvim, you don't need to learn anything else

Cheers...

thanks for your suggestions! I will try gVim first since it's easier to be installed on both linux and win32 platforms.

ultraedit is the best!
Emacs is too difficult, and VI is too ugly, and Gvim is a stupid thing in Windows...

emacs and vi look ugly and difficult to those who don't use them .. but once u use them, you will find that they are like miracles ..

vi is a good tool to edit lots of filetypes:eg tlc perl verilog.
it has powerful functions.But you need to spend some time to
study vi.

yes, vi is the best for me to edit verilog file under linux.
vi doesn't need mouse at all.
new generations perfer using emacs, vim, gvim.
ultraedit is a popular windows but not linux application.

Vim and Emacs, which one is better is not important. The most importance is which editor you can have a guide from your colleagues or your friends. He/she will help you save a lot of time. Learn from expert is the best way!
I feel happy with Vim, Very Happy

I prefer to use nedit for the new. It's simple and powerful. gvim is also good enough.

crimson editor (www.crimsoneditor.com) for Windows. supports colmn edit

scriptum (www.hdlworks.com) for windows/solaris/Linux

You can also configure the editors to perform compilation by the simulator/synthesis tool if you know the path to the executables of the simulator and synthesizer.

I still think crimson editor and scriptum are user friendly. The automatic completion feature in scriptum is good as it avoids retypin of long signal names etc. try it out. it is free and really worth it. jGrasp is also good. I think EMACS is not very user friendly.

professionally, most of the people use either gVim or Emacs .. they both are pretty professional handling HDL and at the same time they are completely for free .. no need to buy a certain tool to use its editor, like in ActiveHDL or ModelSim .. etc.

Post14 Mar 2007 15:23   Re: What's the best VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog editor?

Recently I used emacs, and found that it's reall wonderful..

In the past, my favourite editor was VI, it's totally different than emacs, but i think i will be familiar with it quickly..

I think that emacs is better than VI ..

Just an opinion...

Ahmad,
