I want to put my latest idea in a PLD to save board space.
Years ago I was comfortable working in PALASM, CUPL and ABEL.
I also documented another guy's Verilog source.
I see that Xilinx offers their ISE WebPACK suite for free
but it is said to have 'limited' simulation ability.
There are addon$ available that have complete simulation
ability.
My Question Without Intending To Start A Religious War:
What modern HDL compiler and simulator package has:
The ability to run on Linux
A gentle learning curve
Good user support
Fast, easy use
Efficient use of PLD resources
Support for multiple part vendors
Reasonable purchase price
..and all other characteristics of a superior product.
Thanks!
