GHDL: free and open-source analyzer, compiler, simulator and (experimental) synthesizer for VHDL
News¶
02.02.2021 - GHDL v1.0 was released¶
31.01.2021 - GHDL v1.0.0rc1 was tagged¶
Python bindings were overhauled and renamed to
pyGHDL. Three modules are included:libghdl,lspanddom.The utility scripts in the codebase were moved into subdir
scripts: CI, binding generation, vendors, etc.
Repository ghdl/extended-tests was created for testing vendors build scripts.
The logo was updated (org, ghdl/ghdl, ghdl/docker and ghdl/ghdl-cosim).
Assets are not added to releases or pre-releases anymore. Users should use package managers or nightly assets.
21.05.2020 - Nightly build assets available¶
After each successful CI run of branch
master, packages are published as assets of pre-release nightly.GitHub Action ghdl/setup-ghdl-ci was created, to allow easy installation of nightly GHDL assets in GitHub Actions workflows.
09.05.2020 - New repositories and a wiki were created¶
The plugin for Yosys was moved from tgingold/ghdlsynth-beta to ghdl/ghdl-yosys-plugin.
Repository ghdl/ghdl-cosim was created. It contains documentation and code examples related to VHPIDIRECT, VPI and SystemC. See Co-simulation with GHDL and Previous work and future ideas.
A Wiki was created. The roadmap and ideas for documentation and internship programs were moved there. If you want to contribute anyhow, have a look!
28.02.2020 - GHDL v0.37 was released¶
The major changes are:
Experimental support of synthesis (either with –synth or with the Yosys plugin).
Fixes and improved support of vhdl 2008.

20.12.2017 - A new GitHub organization was created¶
A new GitHub organization is created and the main repo is moved from github.com/tgingold/ghdl to github.com/ghdl/ghdl. Old refs will continue working, because permanent redirects are set up. However, we suggest every contributor to update the remote URLs in their local clones.
