Commandline parameters:


Control-Tab:

Here you define several items which control the generation of the HDL-design:


Entity-declarations-Tab (VHDL) / Parameters-Tab (Verilog):


Architecture-Declarations-Tab (VHDL)/Internal Declarations-Tab (Verilog):


Diagram-Tab:

The schematic is drawn in this tab and a hidable hierarchical view is available (from which designs can be opened by doubleclick).
Each graphical element can be moved by picking it with the left mouse button.
Each graphical element can be deleted by moving the mouse pointer over the element and pressing the "Delete" key.
For VHDL designs several alternative schematics can be entered by using the "new Architecture" button (which architecture is used is controlled by the instance).
The following graphical elements are available:

Configure and manipulate the graphical elements:

Editing actions:


Generated HDL-Tab:

Here the generated HDL files are displayed for reading.


Compile Messages Tab:

The STDOUT and STDERR messages of the compile command appear in this tab.

Here you can find links to 5 designs which I have created.
All designs are created by HDL-SCHEM-Editor and HDL-FSM-Editor and most of the designs are based at VHDL (only for division also Verilog is available).
By the link you will find all the needed source-files for both tools and also the generated VHDL/Verilog-files.
