the Graphical HDL Design tool.

About EASE

EASE is the most intuitive Graphical HDL Design Entry tool in the industry. Providing the user with a better means of communication, documentation and design entry and modification for any HDL design targeted for FPGA or ASIC. It includes integration with industry standard revision control systems for real multi-user support.

What's new in EASE 7.4

Version 7.4 adds several new features and improvements. The state machine editor received functionality to define master-slave state machines where the slave can execute while the master waits for the slave to finish. The slave machine can be activated in every state of the master machine. EASE will generate all the required synchronization logic.
The block diagram editor is extended with Push Down Re-factoring technology, allowing designers to select a group of blocks and place them in a new hierarchical block, while maintaining all connectivity. Other new features are documentation enhancements and support for the Xilinx ISim simulator.

The integrated Scriptum HDL text editor is extended with several color schemes and line folding for VHDL and Verilog files. The line folding offers a compressed view of the HDL contents.

Availability and Pricing

EASE 7.4 is available now. Prices begin at € 3700 for a perpetual license. EASE can be downloaded and evaluated freely from the HDL Works website.
