Dear all,
I'm trying to set up a development environment to work on an open IP
Core that I would like to build against several vendors products.
I'm aware of the GHDL utility (also suggested on opencores.org) to
simulate the vhdl, but I would like to explore the "makefile script"
approach for synthesis and place&route, in order to address vendor
specific issues with constraints files, keeping the vhdl source code as
much as possible implementation independent. Another reason for this
motivation is that I tend to dislike vendors IDE (they are all different
and every time I need to deal with different directory structure, GUI
and so on).
I'd like to know whether there are "best practices" on makefiles for
FPGA implementation or if it is possible to have some examples in order
to setup a development environment which is consistent throughout all my
projects and does not depend on vendor's IDE.
Thanks a lot for any suggestions.
Best regards,
Al
