VHDL to C/C++ converter needed

VHDL to C/C++ converter?

Could anyone give me a link to a good (and maybe free?) VHDL to C/C++ converter. Thanks.

Those language have not really any common point ...

look @ SystemC, Maybe it will help U

Go to
**broken link removed**. You will find information about a VHDL -> SystemC translator. SystemC in brief is C/C++ with hardware semantics. I have used the tool. It need some improvements. Anybody interested to start a common project?

Has anyone used SystemC to program a Xilinx FPGA? Is it even possible with the Xilinx tools available somehow?

If you are generally interested in high-level languages, Xilinx has a tool called Forge which can generate FPGA implementations starting from Java behavioral descriptions. It is 50MB and it runs on Windows and SPARC Solaris. You will also need the implementation tools (ISE) from Xilinx to construct complete, top-down designs. I have not tested the tool but last week I downloaded it for evaluation. You will find it in Xilinx's web page.
