zamiaCAD is a modular and extensible platform for advanced hardware design, analysis, and research.
Its core components are
The frontends consist of a parser and an elaboration engine. Currently, VHDL has a complete frontend, Verilog only has a parser. Applications like a simulator and an eclipse GUI are built on top of the IG and potentially language dependent structures like the abstract syntax tree.
Intended areas of use include
In these areas zamiaCAD targets the automation of currently manual design and verification tasks. This increases register transfer level design and verification engineer productivity. Currently the complete VHDL standard is supported as hardware description language, but it may be extended by adding other frontends, e.g. for Verilog.
