There is a free student version of sigasi and I've used it and loved it. It should definitely be free though (I'm just a college student)!ĮDIT: I should add that an editor that works on Mac is preferable, but if it's Windows only like Notepad++ then that's fine since in order to compile/simulate my code I'll have Windows open as well anyways.Īlso it doesn't need to compile the files, but if it could detect errors and warnings while writing that would be convenient! This is for a personal hobby, not for any industry-type work, so it doesn't need to be mega-powerful or anything. I was wondering if you guys know how to set up a slightly more powerful editor like Visual Studio Code or something to do basic Verilog work. Right now I use sublime text to write my Verilog source and when I need to simulate I switch to ModelSim and when I need to load the bitstream I switch to Vivado (both user projects that are set up to simply reference my source files). that compiles the files or writes the bitstream or anything.

I don't need an editor that acts like an IDE, i.e. I don't really like working in Vivado though, and I primarily work on a Mac (I use Vivado on Parallels+Windows 8 since it doesn't have a Mac version), so I was wondering if there's an alternative. So in class we used the Vivado IDE on Windows to write Verilog code.
