What's a good Verilog compiler?

[Steve Richfie1d]

I need to program a PAL for a project. I have a Data I/O burner, but no
way to convert logic equations to a fuse map to program. Are there any
freebes, or at least something that won't empty my piggy bank?

Pankajkumar,

Do you have any experience with the Icarus Verilog compiler? Does it
work? Aparently, they have a PAL version that doesn't work under
Windoze, but I would think that their full version compiler would work
for PALs. Any thoughts?

Hi,

I have experience using it under Linux and other Unix like systems, never
under windows. It does work well under these platforms. As for
windows, I'm not sure.

Even if it doesn't work under windows, I think if you are willing to
spend a few hours programming (if you enjoy that), it should be hard
to modify it to produce PAL fuse maps, from a subset of verilog.
Hell, a couple of times, I just defined a small subset of verilog I
was interested in and wrote a parser myself.

Another program that you might try using is the ver program. This is
a verilog structural netlist compiler.

Hope this helps,
