VHDL visualiser
Hi All,
I have found HDL analyst from Synplify to be very help full when debugging or trying to understand a larger design. It is simple to filter paths and so forth. I have glanced at ISE which has a similar viewer but not as well developed as HDL Analyst (my opinion). ModelSim has a viewer as well but rather bulky. Does there exist any other vhdl viewer which I have missed? Regards, R N Rick North |

I like the Quartus RTL viewer because I can open it without a full compile and it does a good job collecting buses, muxes and sequential blocks. -- Mike Treseler Mike Treseler |

Re: VHDL visualiser
I will try it, one draw back which is rather ugly with HDL Analyst is
that it does not handle records well. It simply states the name of the record with the number of signals listed from 0 to 240 for example. So the record elements names are not preserved. type My_Record_Type is record answer : unsigned(7 downto 0); status : unsigned(2 downto 0); last_post : unsigned(3 downto 0); index : unsigned(1 downto 0); strobe : bit; end record; would look like my_record(17 downto 0) stripped from the names inside. Even more horrible if one has several records with in one record.

Hi Rick,
If you are just looking for a visual schematic, the best tool i have known so far is debussy from novas. very cool tool. do try it.
