VHDL Simulation for Linux

[Neil Zanella]

Hello,

I am looking for a VHDL simulator to use under Linux. It must be available free
of charge and be as good as possible. I plan to code some VHDL models under Linux
and then deploy them to Xilinx Foundation Tools for synthesis. Is this possible?
There seem to be so many VHDL simulators/synthesizers for Linux out there but
I'm not sure about whether any of them are any good, and if some of them are,
then I would like to have some recommendations as to the best ones.

Thanks!

Neil

Hi Neil,
"Free" and "Best" - AFAIK, VHDLSimli is (atleast was), I know that
recent versions have some limitations, but still worth looking at, see

Depending on what you want, full VHDL spec. or full tool chain

you might want to look at alliance.
You find it on 'http://asim.lip6.fr'.
It ist not (!) a full VHDL simulator, but a full tool chain to implement
digital designs.

There were some tools to support Xilinx, but this was some time ago and
I've got
no recent information.

See you,
Uwe
