[comp.lang.vhdl] Public Domain VHDL debugger/tester ???

J.Gill.Watt.II@dartmouth.edu (J. Gill Watt II) (02/20/91)

howdy,

At the moment, we write VHDL models for parts, compile them and then
test them by simulating ( WorkVIEW ViewSIM ) the part.  This is 
very slow and tedious.  I was wondering if someone made a VHDL
source level debugger that we could use to verify that the code
was functioning properly before trying to simulate the part.

I am more interested in something in the public domain (i.e. free), 
but would also like information on commercial packages.  

Does such a beast exist or am I just dreaming?

Thank you.

-Gill
