Electronic – How to use the Free Starter Edition of Sigasi’s VHDL IDE

designdigital-logicvhdl

I downloaded sigasis ide for vhdl lastnight and i opened up the tutorial vhdl folder and tried to hit the run button (the green play button im assuming) and i got some menus and i just put some stuff in and now when i hit the play button i get this message.

"Exception occurred executing command line.
Cannot run program "C:\Users\Cameron\workspaceSigasi\test\workbench.vhd": CreateProcess error=193, %1 is not a valid Win32 application"

Im new to VHDL so if you would be so kind as to run me through what software I need to just simulate the code that would be great. Im learning VHDL because we never really learned it in the class i took on logic desgin and id love to say to a prospective employer that i know something about VHDL design.

You need to download a simulator. Sigasi is only for design entry (typing and inspecting code). Look here for a list of free simulators: http://www.sigasi.com/faq/which-free-vhdl-simulator-can-i-use
