A simple, easy, and fast Verilog Simulator

About VerilogX

VerilogX is a Verilog simulation software that enables quick debugging of Verilog files. It uses Icarus Verilog (iverilog) and GTKWave to efficiently show output waveform.

Motivation

During the final year of my University, I had to use Verilog for one of my courses. The software we use to simulate was decades old. It took minutes to configure and view the resultant waveform. Debugging was a nightmare. Changing a single word in the code then simulating it took so much time I started to get angry.

I was looking for a way to easily run my Verilog files. Thus, VerilogX was born.

Getting Started

It's easy to install and run VerilogX.

Prerequisites

  • Code Editor

I recommend to use Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text 3 along with Verilog extension.

Note For Windows User

You need to have Java installed in your system. You can download Java (JRE) from here.

Installation

Linux

  • Download VerilogX-Linux-v0.1.tar.gz from here.

  • Open terminal at the downloaded location. And enter the following commands:

tar -xvf VerilogX-Linux-v0.1.tar.gz
cd VerilogX-Linux
sudo bash VerilogX-install.sh

Windows

  • Download VerilogX-Windows-v0.1.zip from here.
  • Unzip it.
  • Double click on VerilogX-Windows-v0.1.exe to install.
