Easy to Use

Benefit from Simple Syntax, Clean IDE and a Variety of Tutorials

Code Assistant

VHDPlus IDE makes writing code as easy as possible. Multiple Features like code suggestions, autocorrection and error listing work together to help you program your FPGA.

Simulation Assistant

If you ever tried programming FPGAs you probably noticed that the HDL Synthesis takes very long once your project extends. Instead of using trial & error you can simulate your Program to fix mistakes.

Seamless Quartus Integration

Connect pins, compile and program directly from our IDE. All important features of Quartus are built-in and ready to use in VHDPlus IDE. Now available on Linux and Windows.

Software Support

For some applications using an FPGA can have disadvantages. In this case you can use the NIOS II Softcore processor and program it like an Arduino. VHDPlus IDE offers first class C++ support including a debugger.

What is an FPGA?

FPGAs complete operations at astonishing rates. They are not limited by thread count, because you program the hardware. This leads to incomparable performance, especially in multi-threaded tasks, such as for robots, AI, audio and video processing or Crypto mining.

This is why FPGAs are already widely used in the professional environment. But due to the high price and difficulty of programming for private users, FPGAs have not yet been established. This is why we started this project.

What is VHDPlus?

VHDPlus is the name for a combination of different solutions we came up with to make FPGA Programming a lot easier.

VHDPlus IDE 💡

VHDPlus IDE is a modern approach to make FPGA Programming faster and more beginner friendly.

VHDP Language 📑

VHDP is a superset of VHDL, which makes Programming easier by extending its features and simplifying syntax.

Plug&Play Hardware ⚡

We offer hardware and useful extensions which provide, together with VHDPlus IDE, a Plug&Play Experience.

VHDPlus Learning Platform 📚

We offer a lot of Examples and Guides for free on our Website, which we are expanding continuously.

VHDP Programming Language

By automatically creating state machines, including synthesizable loops, delays, and functions, and due to a much simpler syntax, you can experience up to 95% code reduction at 100% of the performance!

VHDP is not a completely different language, but it extends the features of VHDL. So everything you could do with VHDL is also possible with VHDP, and of course, you can still use your old VHDL files.
