Icarus Verilog is a Verilog simulation and synthesis tool. It
|
|
operates as a compiler, compiling source code written in Verilog
|
|
(IEEE-1364) into some target format. For batch simulation, the
|
|
compiler can generate C++ code that is compiled and linked with
|
|
a run time library (called "vvm") then executed as a command to
|
|
run the simulation. For synthesis, the compiler generates netlists
|
|
in the desired format.
|
|
|
|
The compiler proper is intended to parse and elaborate design
|
|
descriptions written to the IEEE standard IEEE Std 1364-2000. The
|
|
standard proper is due to be release towards the middle of the
|
|
year 2000. This is a fairly large and complex standard, so it will
|
|
take some time for it to get there, but that's the goal.
