Description
This issue is to gather references which might be interesting to be added to the docs:
GHDL: a libre VHDL simulator
FOSDEM2015
2015 Jan 31-Feb 1, BrusselsShort presentation of GHDL, followed by a discussion.
GHDL is a libre VHDL simulator. It compiles a design using the gcc or llvm backend. GHDL fully implements VHDL-87, VHDL-93, VHDL-02 and partially VHDL-08.Speakers: Tristan Gingold
GHDL what's new
FOSDEM2016
2016 Jan 30-31, Brussels'GHDL What's new ?' will present the main changes in GHDL since last presentation at FOSDEM 2015: features added, new frameworks supported, new hosting, and future developments
Speakers: Tristan Gingold
Tutorial: my first hardware design
FOSDEM207
2017 Feb 4-5, BrusselsBasic course to create a simple FPGA design using OSS tools.
You have no hardware knowledge and want to know how people design chips ? You are a software guy, having heard of VHDL or Verilog but never used it ? In this 25 min tutorial, you will learn the basis of hardware design and how to write a simple FPGA design using only FOSS tools. (This tutorial is not about PCB design, but reprogrammable chips design)Speakers: Tristan Gingold
Tutorial: my first FPGA design
FOSDEM2018
2018 Feb 3-4, BrusselsBasic course to create a simple FPGA design using OSS tools
You have no hardware knowledge and want to know how people design chips ? You are a software guy, having heard of VHDL or Verilog but never used it ? In this 25 min tutorial, you will learn the basis of hardware design and how to write a simple FPGA design using only FOSS tools. (This tutorial is not about PCB design, but reprogrammable chips design)This is the same talk as the one of FOSDEM'17. As the room was full, some people were not able to attend so I propose to do it again.

GHDL and the economy of EDA FOSS
Free Silicon Conference (FSiC2019)
2019 Mar 14-16, Sorbonne Université (Paris)The talk will be split into 3 parts:
- A presentation of GHDL, an open-source VHDL simulator. Main features, architecture, short history and purpose
- The future of GHDL. This conference is a good place to discuss about how a project can help another one. In particular which features are expected from other projects.
- My own experience about the economy of EDA FOSS. Why is it difficult to built a FOSS ecosystem? What kind of EDA FOSS do we want ?
Speakers: Tristan Gingold
GHDL: Present and Future
Workshop on Open Source Design Automation (OSDA) 2019
held in conjunction with the Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE)
2019 Mar 29, Florence (Italy)Speakers: Tristan Gingold
Microwatt and GHDL - An Open Hardware CPU written in VHDL
2020 Sep 22
Microwatt is a 64 bit POWER OpenISA soft processor, written in VHDL. Over time it has grown from supporting Micropython, to Zephyr and most recently Linux.From its original inception, Microwatt has relied heavily on GHDL, the Open Source VHDL simulator. GHDL has very recently added synthesis support and together with Yosys and Nextpnr allows for a completely open source toolchain for FPGAs.
This presentation will give an overview of the Microwatt core. It will also include an overview of GHDL and how it can be used for both simulation and synthesis of a medium complexity VHDL project.
Speakers: Anton Blanchard, IBM & Tristan Gingold, CERN
