Open-source VHDL compiler and simulator

ABOUT
VHDL simulation often needs a paid vendor tool. NVC compiles almost all of IEEE 1076-2008 and runs simulations so teams develop and regress VHDL without a closed license or a GHDL-only flow.
INSTALL
brew install nvcINTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Compile and simulate a VHDL-2008 design from the NVC CLI
2. Dump waveforms from an NVC run and inspect them in GTKWave
3. Regression-test VHDL IP without a vendor simulator license
4. Mix VHDL libraries in an open FPGA or ASIC verification flow
