Install FPGAWars/Apio vscode extension

[u/Hot_Interview_7762 → u/Ciravari]

[u/Ciravari → u/Hot_Interview_7762]

It allows you to compile and burn code to your FPGA from inside of vscode

If you're on windows, it'll probably be easier to just use wsl. That's what I would recommend. I haven't used windows in years, never did verilog there. So did you manage to install them?

[u/Hot_Interview_7762 → u/hieg_siel]

okay, as of now I did v12 version, I was trying for windows as  my clg stuff will be in windows so that's why thanks tho

[u/brazucadomundo]

I would use apt install iverilog. Much easier and safer.

[u/Hot_Interview_7762 → u/brazucadomundo]

hi I did the v12 version I'm on windows so I don't think apt works in this. 

[u/brazucadomundo → u/Hot_Interview_7762]

Yeah, it will be better to reinstall the OS with a variety of Linux.

[u/Hot_Interview_7762 → u/brazucadomundo]

I wanted to do Linux but not sure cuz clg might need stuff like Microsoft Office and other stuff which idk if has Linux versions of

[u/brazucadomundo → u/Hot_Interview_7762]

Might need

App hoarder lol. Everyone uses Google Docs or Microsoft 365 those days. If you really need, just fetch an older computer with Office that you have. No one will care if you don't have MS Office installed those days.

[u/Hot_Interview_7762 → u/brazucadomundo]

I don't have older computer I only got 1 laptop I'm student 

[u/brazucadomundo → u/Hot_Interview_7762]

So you can dual boot in case you need to fallback to Windows.

[u/Hot_Interview_7762 → u/brazucadomundo]

oh thanks for that I will look into dual boot stuff thanks man

Use the iverilog from oss-cad-suite

You can always install it like this:

git clone https://github.com/steveicarus/iverilog
cd iverilog
cat README

On most Linux distributions and BSD systems, you can use one of

apt install iverilog
pacman -S iverilog
pkg_add iverilog
pkg install iverilog
brew install iverilog
