Best VHDL/Verilog IDE for Mac OS? What's the best IDE to learn how to program VHDL/Verilog on a Mac? Do I have to bootcamp into Windows to run Xilinx ISE. Is that my only option. Save hide report. This thread is archived. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. You may also want to take a look at the DVT Eclipse IDE from AMIQ. DVT supports e, SystemVerilog, VHDL and provides much more functionality then syntax highlight. Like auto-complete, hyperlinks, class and module browsing, design hierarchies, diagrams, code refactoring, and more.

This tutorial shows you how to create the hardware equivalent of “Hello World”: a blinking LED. This is a simple exercise to get you started using the Intel® Quartus® software for FPGA development.
You’ll learn to compile Verilog code, make pin assignments, create timing constraints, and then program the FPGA to blink one of the eight green user LEDs on the board. You'll use a 50 MHz clock input (from the on-board oscillator) to drive a counter, and assign an LED to one of the counter output bits.
Level: beginner
MaterialsHardware
Terasic DE10-Nano kit
The Terasic DE10-Nano development board, based on an Intel® Cyclone V SoC FPGA, provides a reconfigurable hardware design platform for makers, IoT developers and educators. You can buy the kit here.
Software
Intel® Quartus® Prime Software Suite Lite Edition
The FPGA design software used here is ideal for beginners as it’s free to download and no license file is required. You can download the software here.
Note: The installation files are large (several gigabytes) and can take a long time to download and install. To minimize download time and disk space required, we recommend you download only those items necessary for this exercise. When prompted which files to download, uncheck “Select All” and select only Quartus Prime and Cyclone V device support only.
Once you’ve downloaded and installed the Intel® Quartus® software, you're ready to get started creating a project!
Note: Screenshots are based on the latest release v16.1. User experience may vary when using earlier or later versions of Intel® Quartus® software.
Step 1: Create an Intel® Quartus® Software Project
Step 1.a: Open Intel® Quartus® Prime Software Suite Lite Edition.
Step 1.b: Open a New Project Wizard
Step 1.c: Select Next
Step 1.d: Directory, Name, Top-Level Entity
Choose a directory to put your project under. Here, we name our project “Blink” and place it under the intelFPGA_lite folder but you can place it wherever you want. Select Next.
When prompted to create the directory, choose Yes.
This project directory is convenient for an example tutorial, but isn't what we would recommend for future projects.
