Sigasi 2.29

Released on 2015-06-30

The Sigasi 2.29 release brings better Verilog parsing, SystemVerilog for Synthesis, Cadence Incisive (NCSim) as external compiler, and more.

Better Verilog support

We significantly improved our internal Verilog parser. Our parser is now able to give type-time syntax errors for Verilog (2005) code. This gives you instant feedback about Verilog syntax errors. So no more waiting for the compiler to find syntax issues. Note that this feature is disabled by default. You can enable/disable it with the Ctrl+3 keyboard shortcut, and next typing Toggle Verilog problem markers.

SystemVerilog for synthesis

SystemVerilog

We added support for the synthesisable subset of SystemVerilog. This means that Sigasi can now cope with:

  • Packages
  • Typedefs
  • Structs
  • Unions
  • Arrays of arrays
  • Enums
  • For loops
  • …

The New Verilog file wizard now allows you to create SystemVerilog files too (.sv, .svh).

Cadence Incisive (NCSim)

[Sigasi Premium Desktop and Sigasi Premium Doc]

You can now configure Cadence Incisive (NCSim) as Save-time compilation for your HDL code. Once configured, Sigasi will automatically run ncvhdl and ncvlog to compile your code. All issues will get a problem marker in the editor and will appear in the problems view.

Other new and noteworthy improvements

  • We no longer include AHDL support
  • Updated the Xtext dependency to Xtext 2.8.2 
  • The Sigasi Premium Desktop formatter now converts keywords to lower case when the Upper case keywords formatting option is disabled. (Note that the Sigasi Pro formatter will not change the keyword casing).
  • Expose BlockConfiguration context in VHDL autocomplete templates
  • We added a filter to project explorer to filter all non-Verilog files
