VSCodeHow to configure the verilog environment? The following article recommends three plug-ins to allow VSCode to write verilog smoothly. The three plug-ins can realize code prompts, automatic instantiation, and formatting.

How to configure the verilog environment in VSCode? Code prompts + automatic instantiation + formatting plug-in sharing

[Recommended learning: vscode tutorial, Programming video

Verilog-HDL/ SystemVerilog/Bluespec SystemVerilog



#Achievable functions:

    Syntax highlighting
  • Auto instantiation
  • Code prompts and jumps
  • Auto completion

Plug-in configuration

As described on the Verilog HDL/SystemVerilog plug-in welcome page, supports Ctags function:

How to configure the verilog environment in VSCode? Code prompts + automatic instantiation + formatting plug-in sharing

Configuration steps:

You can choose different compilers

including:

    iverilog
  • xvlog(vivado)
  • modelsim

Function display

Supports verilog, SV and other syntax highlighting.

shift ctrl p input verilog, you can directly automatically instantiate the module.

When the mouse is placed on the signal, a statement will be displayed in the floating box. Ctrl left click and click on the signal name to automatically jump to the declaration. Place the cursor at the signal, right-click and select View Definition (the shortcut keys can be bound by yourself). You can expand the code at the declaration here. It is very convenient to modify the declaration without having to jump back and forth.

Verilog_Testbench



##Achievable functions:

Automatically generate testbench

shift ctrl p input testbench, you can directly generate tb. Then copy it in the terminal.

SystemVerilog and Verilog Formatter


This tool is launched by Google and supports both Verilog and System Verilog ,

The effect is very good, and it also supports a wide range of customized formatting parameters. Personally, I think it is easier to use than verilog format.

Achievable functions

Automatically format files
  • Automatically format selected content
  • Custom format

Custom parameter setting table##verible-verilog-format: usage: bazel- bin/verilog/tools/formatter/verible-verilog-format [options] []

To pipe from stdin, use '-' as .

  Flags from common/formatting/basic_format_style_init.cc:
    --column_limit (Target line length limit to stay under when formatting.);
      default: 100;

      default: 2;
    --line_break_penalty (Penalty added to solution for each introduced line
      break.); default: 2;

      baseline penalty value of exceeding the column limit. Additional penalty
      of 1 is incurred for each character over this limit); default: 100;
    --wrap_spaces (Each wrap level adds this many spaces. This applies when the
      first element after an open-group section is wrapped. Otherwise, the
      indentation level is set to the column position of the open-group
      operator.); default: 4;

      dimensions in contexts with enabled alignment are aligned to the right.);

    --struct_union_members_alignment (Format struct/union members:
      {align,flush-left,preserve,infer}); default: infer;
    --try_wrap_long_lines (If true, let the formatter attempt to optimize line
      wrapping decisions where wrapping is needed, else leave them unformatted.
      This is a short-term measure to reduce risk-of-harm.); default: false;

  Flags from verilog/tools/formatter/verilog_format.cc:
    --failsafe_success (If true, always exit with 0 status, even if there were

    --show_token_partition_tree (If true, print diagnostics after token
      partitioning and then exit without formatting output.); default: false;
    --stdin_name (When using '-' to read from stdin, this gives an alternate
      name for diagnostic purposes. Otherwise this is ignored.);
      default: "";
    --verbose (Be more verbose.); default: false;
    --verify_convergence (If true, and not incrementally formatting with
      --lines, verify that re-formatting the formatted output yields no further
      changes, i.e. formatting is convergent.); default: true;

Try --helpfull to get a list of all flags or --help=substring shows help for
flags which include specified substring in either in the name, or description or
path.

插件配置

如果是windows,systemverilogFormatter.veribleBuild设置为win64

systemverilogFormatter.commandLineArguments可以自定义格式化参数,下面放上我自己用的参数,可以实现大部分常用代码段实现对齐。

--indentation_spaces=4 --named_port_alignment=align  --ort_declarations_alignment=align --module_net_variable_alignment=align

如何使用?如何格式化?

和vscode内置格式化一样,直接shift ctrl f就可以格式化文件,ctrl k可以格式化选定内容。

值得注意的是,由于这个插件也是在完善中,还是存在部分问题的。

比如else不会换行。

比如,存在语法问题,或者不能识别语法的时候,格式化会使用不了。这里我将最后一个端口加上","就不能格式化了。
