Hi,

I am new to OpenCores.

Could anyone please let me know whether is there specific opensource Verilog compiler we have to use in OpenCores projects?

Regards,
Chinthaka

Hi,

Any verilog simulator should work with OpenCores IP's.

Icarus Verilog is open source, and seems to work OK

Hi Chinthaka

Since it is open source you can use whatever you wish. OpenRISC is verified with scripts written to use Icarus Verilog (free and open source) or Verilator (also free and open source). However in the past that project has used Cadence NC (proprietary), and I've seen it run with ARC VTOC (also proprietary).

Other projects will have their own arrangements, but you can choose to verify or compile as suits your needs.

Steven has given you a link to Icarus Verilog. For VHDL projects there is GHDL (ghdl.free.fr). Verilator (www.veripool.org/wiki/verilator is an open source synthesizable Verilog to C++/SystemC compiler, which delivers performance similar to commercial simulators.

Embecosm has an application note explaining how to use Icarus Verilog and Verilator with OpenRISC, which you may find useful: High Performance SoC Modeling with Verilator.

Hope this helps.

Jeremy
