Open Source VHDL/Verilog Software Development Software for Mac

This project aims to develop a colour-based vision processing system for use in RoboCup. We are using a CCD camera for input to an FPGA. The system locates coloured objects and outputs detected corners.

We provide MATLAB and Verilog Models of GeAr, and previously proposed adders (ACA-I, ETAII, ACA-II and GDA) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/approxadderlib/ GeAr is a low latency Generic Accuracy Configurable Adder that provides a higher number of potential configurations compared to state-of-the-art approximate adders, thus enabling a high degree of flexibility and trade-off between performance and output quality. These MATALB and Verilog models can allow software programmer as well as hardware designers to evaluate their code and design. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first open-source library of approximate adders that facilitates reproducible comparisons and further research and development in this direction across various layers of design abstraction. This work is a result of collaborative effort between Chair for Embedded Systems (CES) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany and Vision Image and Signal Processing (VISpro) Lab at SEECS-NUST, Pakistan.

Compiler-like program that checks Verilog source for common design errors. This tool can help beginning Verilog programmers who aren't aware of common design pitfalls and advanced Verilog programmers who want to double check large projects.

vMAGIC is a Java-API which helps creating VHDL generators and analyzers. vMAGIC comprises three parts: 1st a VHDL'93 compliant parser, 2nd a programming model to easily create and modify VHDL constructs, and 3rd a VHDL Writer to generate code.
