boot is an open-source software tool based on the open-source tools ghld and gtkwave and designed to compile, simulate and synthesize your VHDL code. boot leverages the opencores.org website to allow users to freely share IP Cores.
boot is easy to use and runs on any Linux distribution. Documentation is available here.
Intall ghld and gtkwave using the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pgavin/ghdl
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ghdl gtkwave
or directly using the ghdl .deb installer and the gtkwave .deb installer.
boot runs on most Linux distributions and it can be easily installed from its generic Linux .bin installer
Once downloaded the .zip file, you can got ahead and unzip plus install it with the following commands:
unzip boot_lin_installer.zip
sudo boot_lin_installer.bin
To uninstall boot you can use the command:
sudo rm -Rf /opt/boot /usr/local/bin/boot
sudo rm -Rf /usr/share/applications/boot.desktop
sudo rm -Rf /usr/share/pixmaps/boot-icon.*
Older versions of boot (before ver. 0.36) can be removed via the command:
sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/boot*
sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/bin/boot
sudo rm -Rf /usr/share/applications/boot.desktop
sudo rm -Rf /usr/share/pixmaps/boot-icon.*
Once you have installed boot you need to take care of its dependencies and for this you need to be connected to the Internet and run the terminal command:
sudo boot --build
This should install all dependencies (included GHDL) and create a launcher on your top menu bar. Double clicking on it will start boot.
