Hi,

I am using Quartus II as my development tools to write VHDL, but I
found that it is too large and too slow, are there any light-wight
tools can completely replace Quartus II?

Thanks a lot.

Try expressive-IV, it might be of use to you. There is a fully
functional demo you can download and try it.

Synthesis by trial and error is very inefficient.
To write vhdl quickly I need a good editor
tied in to a good simulator. Quartus is neither
of these.

However, once the code is simulating OK,
Quartus is a good synthesis tool, and
has an excellent rtl viewer.

What exactly do you mean when you say "develop"? If you're developing
directly in hardware, you need a synthesis tool, like Quartus. If,
however, you need simulation, Quartus is not a good choice. I'm using
Modelsim for simulation, which is an excellent tool, but costly. I have
heard a lot about ghdl, a free VHDL simulator, maybe you should try
this.
