GHDL integration

Updated in Sigasi Studio 4.11.

Configure GHDL

To configure GHDL, go to Window > Preferences > Sigasi > External Compilers > GHDL.

First, set the GHDL installation path to the location of GHDL on your computer.

The arguments for the compilation and simulation can be independently configured.

  • Use the Arguments for GHDL setting to configure GHDL arguments passed to the compilation.
  • Use the Arguments for GHDL run (-r) setting to configure GHDL arguments passed when starting a simulation.

The default arguments should work fine. However, you could e.g. replace the --vcd argument with --wave which is also allowed by GHDL.

Activate GHDL

To use GHDL as external compiler, select GHDL in Window > Preferences > Sigasi > External Compilers.

Make sure to avoid spaces in the project path to avoid errors in the GHDL simulation startup.
