hi everyone,



i'm working on my diploma work right now. i have to develop an fpga - circuit. the development-environment has to be linux redhat.



does anyone know fpga-developmenttools to write compile and link fpga circuit under linux.


The Quartus CD (synthesis/place+route) has installs for linux, solaris and hp-ux.

Quartus inludes modelsim_oem (simulation), but only for windows, solaris and hp-ux

Mentor modelsim SE has a linux distribution.

Latest ISE 6.1i tools from Xilinx support Linux.

Quartus II has been available for Linux for quite a while now. SOPC Builder is also available under Linux.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

JHDL is a set of FPGA CAD tools developed at Brigham Young University's Configurable Computing Laboratory that allows the user to design the structure and layout of a circuit, debug the circuit in simulation, netlist and interface for bit-stream synthesis, and so forth. It is an exploratory attempt to identify the key features and functionality of good FPGA tools.

From what I gather, it's rather mature, though lacking for the more recent variants of FPGAs (e.g., Xilinx's Spartan-3).

Oh, by the way, these tools are free for the download. Open source, you know!
