An Editor for HDLs

Dave VandenboutDave Vandenbout July 17, 201211 comments

If you prefer Notepad++ over Emacs, Dave Vandenbout shows how to turn it into a capable HDL editor using templates, a Perl package generator, and Emacs run in batch mode for beautification. He covers FingerText snippets for VHDL skeletons, binding a Perl script to auto-create/update package component declarations, and invoking Emacs from a hotkey to format files with one keystroke.
