DVT IDE for Visual Studio Code

Starting with version 23.2.23 a FlexLM license server ≥11.19 is required.

Requirements: VS Code >= 1.81.1

Commercial License: By downloading and using the DVT IDE for Visual Studio Code, you agree to the product End-User License Agreement.

For design and verification engineers who are working with Verilog, SystemVerilog, Verilog-AMS or VHDL, the Design and Verification Tools (DVT) IDE for Visual Studio Code significantly improves productivity.

Unlike plain text editors providing regular expression based capabilities, the DVT IDE compiles the code and signals errors as you type, speeds-up code writing using auto-complete and quick fix proposals, and allows you to find anything you are looking for instantly.

What the DVT IDE can give you in seconds would likely have taken you several minutes or hours to find and do by hand.

The DVT IDE enables engineers overcome the limitations of plain text code editors and address today’s project complexity more efficiently. It enables faster and smarter code development and simplifies legacy code maintenance for novices and experts alike.

Features

• On the fly standard compliant compilation. The DVT IDE uses an IEEE standard compliant parser (IEEE 1800 SystemVerilog, IEEE 1076 VHDL). There is no need to invoke the simulator to make sure the code compiles without errors. DVT IDE performs on-the-fly incremental compilation and as such, the editor highlights the errors in real time, as you type.
• Advanced code editing capabilities such as autocomplete, quick fixes, macro expansion, intelligent code formatting, refactoring, and code templates.
• Code and project navigation features such as hyperlinks, structural browsing (e.g. design hierarchy), dynamically created UML diagrams and design diagrams. These features enable users to navigate easily through tens of thousands of code lines, locate the relevant information, inspect a class or module structure, and understand the source code quickly.
• Cross-language capabilities for mixed-language projects allows users to work with source code written in multiple languages (i.e. SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL), navigate seamlessly through large projects, easily see the big picture, and understand the whole design.
