What's the best VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog editor?

Status
Not open for further replies.
I likes аldec аctive hdl editor. it has auto-formating for HDL, it's very useful.
 

I myself consider Emacs one of the best editors ever .. and it comes by default under linux installations ..

Yet, comparing some some modes to others, VHDL-mode is very poor compared to Verilog-Mode .. I'm not sure if there is something better for VHDL editing or not .. given being free

I used both extensively. The VHDL mode has a beautify buffer that fixes up all the indentations. It also has a create testbench.
My copy of that is at

Using VHDL-Mode, how do you handle things like changing IO for one block in the hierarchy, automatic declaration of signals, updating the sensitivity list of a process, etc ?

In Verilog-Mode, all these things can easily be done using AUTOs.

I haven't used the AUTO feature of verilog. However, SystemVerilogmade life a lot easier on things like the port declaration, and sensitivity list (like the always_comb).
In any case, teh completion mode of emacs is great.

On typing tools, I use Texter, and highly recommend it. It works on almost all files, emacs, WORD, Excel, PPT, and browsers (except for MS Explorer). For example for the word "assertion" I type "a TAB_key. For consequent, I type "co space_key". But you can define your own keys.
What it does: Lets you define text substitution hotstrings that, when triggered, will replace hotstring with a larger piece of text. By entering your most commonly-typed snippets of text into Texter, you can save countless keystrokes in the course of the day

That also works in emacs. I highly recommend this GNU Texter program.
