Re: Can Electric read in VHDL source files

[amal banerjee]

As far as I remember, GHDL is in Ada95, so a library for interfacing 
between Java and GHDL has to be created. 
I think the best tool in these situations would be to use the Alliance
tool 
http://www-asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
which reads in a standard VHDL file, generates optimized netlists, 
does parasitic extraction and place/route using very simple cmmand
line options.

Is it a big job to add GHDL as VHDL simulator?
