Hi,

Is there any tool to 'see' what the synthesized hardware of a hdl code will look like. For eg. if I write a behavioral code then the tool will show me the block diagram of it with input and output ports or the gate level implementation of it. I am new in the business of hdls coding.

Thanks,
Arvind Gupta.
 

Yes - all the synthesis tools have netlist viewers

eg. In quartus go tool -> netlist viewers ->
 
Just to remind that manufacturer's tools are in general designed to provide a view of the circuit fitted within the cells of the target device where the project is supposed to run, so that the final appearance of the circuit drew may not be as intelligible as you expect.
 

And the xilinx equivalent of the command pls. Thanks.
In Vivado in the Flow Navigator under "RTL Analysis -> Open Elaborated Design -> Schematic " if you want the RTL schematic
and under "Synthesis -> Open Synthesized Design -> Schematic" if you want the synthesized schematic with the primitives used.

In ISE Under the Design tab in the Processes section "Synthesis -XST -> View RTL Schematic" for RTL and "Synthesis - XST -> View Technology Schmatic" for the primitives.
