Ok so it's still a bit buggy on windows, and ModelSim doesn't play nice.
But combined with #GHDL for open source #VHDL simulation and #gtkwave for wave viewing it's a surprisingly comfortable to set up tool chain, especially on Linux it's all just via package manager and pip~
Now to learn proper file structuring and documenting habits to raise the code quality bar a bit, probably add proper test benches~
Again #TerosHDL helps with built in docs generator <3
#ghdl #vhdl #gtkwave #teroshdl
A big thanks to the creators of #TerosHDL open-source #VHDL plugin for #vscode <3
Discovered it today, and the built-in parsing, documentation and state-machine flowchart gen + simulation support will make working on our next task at #CERN a breeze!
For those that are curious, we finished coding the 8051 to spit out data on an SPI bus.
Now we "just" need to add a matching side in the Quench-Detection box!
Without some flowcharts to convey the bigger picture that'd be tough (sparsw docs, yay)
