This package provides useful extensions on top of vhdl-mode
and vhdl-ts-mode
.

Tree-sitter is optional but recommended and only required if using vhdl-ts-mode
for some of the features above.

vhdl-ext
is available on MELPA.
To install it via straight with use-package
:
(straight-use-package 'use-package) (use-package vhdl-ext)
To install via Guix use:
$ guix install emacs-vhdl-ext
The most basic configuration just requires choosing which features you want to load, setup the minor-mode and add it as a hook for vhdl-mode
. By default all features are enabled:
;; Can also be set through `M-x RET customize-group RET vhdl-ext': ;; Comment out/remove the ones you do not need (setq vhdl-ext-feature-list '(font-lock xref capf hierarchy eglot lsp lsp-bridge lspce flycheck beautify navigation template compilation imenu which-func hideshow time-stamp ports)) (require 'vhdl-ext) (vhdl-ext-mode-setup) (add-hook 'vhdl-mode-hook #'vhdl-ext-mode)
If installed and loaded via use-package
:
(use-package vhdl-ext :hook ((vhdl-mode . vhdl-ext-mode)) :init ;; Can also be set through `M-x RET customize-group RET vhdl-ext': ;; Comment out/remove the ones you do not need (setq vhdl-ext-feature-list '(font-lock xref capf hierarchy eglot lsp lsp-bridge lspce flycheck beautify navigation template compilation imenu which-func hideshow time-stamp ports)) :config (vhdl-ext-mode-setup))
Enabling of vhdl-ext-mode
minor-mode creates the following keybindings:

vhdl-ext-flycheck-mode
vhdl-ext-tags-get

vhdl-ext-find-entity-instance-fwd
vhdl-ext-jump-to-parent-entity

vhdl-ext-jump-to-entity-at-point-ref
Port connections
vhdl-ext-ports-toggle-connect
vhdl-ext-ports-connect-recursively
Some of the features that vhdl-ext
provides are based either on builtin vhdl-mode
Emacs lisp parsing or on tree-sitter vhdl-ts-mode
:
For information about installation of vhdl-ts-mode
check its repo.
The package provides the variable vhdl-ext-project-alist
to select which files belong to a specific project:
(setq vhdl-ext-project-alist `(("axi_if_converter" ; Project name :root "/home/gonz/Repos/larumbe/axi_if_converter" ; supports remote dirs via Tramp :files ("src/my_block.vhd" "src/*.vhd") ; Multiple files can be specified through the glob pattern :dirs ("src/tb" "-r src/rtl" ; -r to add directories recursively "src/syn/*_block" "src/**/netlists") ; add all dirs that begin with "src" and end with "netlists" :ignore-dirs ("src/ignored_ip") :ignore-files ("src/some_ip/ignored_sim_netlist.vhd") ;; The ones below are used for GHDL-related features :worklib "xil_defaultlib" ; Defaults to `work' if not set :workdir "library/xil_defaultlib" ; Output compilation directory for worklib :lib-search-path ("/opt/ghdl_Xilinx_lib/")))) ; Extra directories to look for compiled libraries
The different properties for each project entry determine which files will be used for some features of the package, such as completion, xref navigation, hierarchy extraction and compilation.
For configuration information, see the wiki.
Find definitions and referencesvhdl-ext
provides a builtin xref
backend to navigate definitions and references of current project in vhdl-ext-project-alist
.
For configuration information, see the wiki.
Complete with tags from current VHDL project.
For configuration information, see the wiki.
Hierarchy extraction of entity at current buffer.

For new functionality add new ERT tests if possible.
Consider sponsoring to help maintaining the project and for the development of new features. Thank you!
To run the whole ERT test suite change directory to the vhdl-ext
root and make sure test-hdl
Git submodule has been loaded:
git submodule update --init
Then run the default target:
To run a subset of tests (e.g. navigation):
To regenerate all the expected outputs for the tests:
To regenerate the expected outputs for a group of tests (e.g. navigation):
$ make gen TESTS=navigation
