Verilog-mode

Latest verilog-mode version is required since verilog-ext relies on much of its latest patches to work correctly.

Installing verilog-ext through MELPA or straight will update automatically the version for verilog-mode. However, this will be fetched from gnu archive and might not be the latest one. To make sure you are using the latest:

(straight-use-package 'use-package)
(use-package verilog-mode
  :straight (:repo "veripool/verilog-mode"))
  • Other installation methods: refer to verilog-mode installation options.

Binaries

verilog-ext makes use of several binaries as backend engines to support IDE-like functionality.

List of required binaries:

  • Definitions and references navigation: global, gtags, universal-ctags, python, pygments
  • Jump to parent module: ag, ripgrep
  • Hierarchy extraction: vhier
  • Linting: verilator, iverilog, verible-verilog-lint, slang, svlint, xrun/hal
  • LSP: hdl_checker, svlangserver, verible-verilog-ls, svls, veridian
