Open-source simulator for the VHDL language. More information: <http://ghdl.free.fr>.

  • Analyze a VHDL source file and produce an object file:
    ghdl -a filename.vhdl
  • Elaborate a design (where `design` is the name of a configuration unit, entity unit or architecture unit):
    ghdl -e design
  • Run an elaborated design:
    ghdl -r design
  • Run an elaborated design and dump output to a waveform file:
    ghdl -r design --wave=output.ghw
  • Check the syntax of a VHDL source file:
    ghdl -s filename.vhdl
  • Display the help page:
    ghdl --help
