Even under Windows I have always had critical issues, and when it does not work, the damn mess is so bloated that it's impossible to know what went wrong :-(
> Having a simulator accessible thru the web would solve these issues. I'm not interested by a simulator accessed through the web, if you have many simultaneous students, your server will die... my approach is more a local simulator connected to the interface through a browser. GHDL is very easy to install, what I'm doing now is a set of VHDL and C files that are compiled along a normal design to provide new I/Os. I have already designed a C & VHDL library (using VHPIDIRECT) that synchronises the simulation to the computer's real time clock, so the simulation runs at 1Hz for example. The idea can be extended to more complex cases, that's what I doing now. > -Pascal yg -- http://ygdes.com / http://yasep.org _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
