What is EDA Playground?¶

EDA Playground gives engineers immediate hands-on exposure to simulating and synthesizing SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, C++/SystemC, and other HDLs. All you need is a web browser.

• With a simple click, run your code and see console output in real time.
• View waves for your simulation using EPWave browser-based wave viewer.
• Save your code snippets (“Playgrounds”).
• Share your code and simulation results with a web link. Perfect for web forum discussions or emails. Great for asking questions or sharing your knowledge.
• Quickly try something out
  • Try out a language feature with a small example.
  • Try out a library that you’re thinking of using.

You can use EDA Playground¶

• for Quick prototyping – try out syntax or a library/language feature.
• when asking questions on Stack Overflow or other online forums, attach a link to the code and simulation results.
• during technical interviews to test candidates’ SystemVerilog/Verilog coding and debug skills.
• trying out different verification frameworks: UVM, SVUnit, plain Verilog, or Python.
