Tools I Use

• SAVANT, TyVIS, and WARPED form a VHDL simulation system
• Cypress Semiconductor Corporation offers a low-cost ($99) package for Windows called Warp 2. It includes VHDL synthesis and simulation for their PLDs, and the new release 4 includes support for their FPGAs as well. (FPGA support was formerly available only in the more expensive Warp 2+ package.)

  Warp 2 release 4 is also available packaged with the book "VHDL for Programmable Logic" by Kevin Skahill of Cypress Semiconductor, published by Addison Wesley, ISBN 0-201-89573-0. I've seen this in bookstores for $41.95.

• Accolade Design Automation has a downloadable demo version of their compiler and simulator for Windows.
• Seodu Logic, Inc. offers MyVHDL Station
