logisim-evolution VS Digital

I have downloaded logisim-evolution from github. While trying to run .msi file, Microsoft Defender blocked it for some reason. I scanned it with some other scanners and everything was fine. I'm not sure if this is safe to install it.

I am trying to define an xbps-src template for logisim-evolution, a Java app that requires Java 16. I am using depends="virtual?java-runtime" and, as expected by reading etc/defaults.virtual, OpenJDK 8 is used. Creating a etc/virtual file is ignored in .gitignore, so I guess it is made to be used with local packages. Using depends="virtual?java-runtime-17.0.5+7_1" works, as OpenJDK 17 provides that exact version of java-runtime. If it were updated, this package would break, because if I input a lower version, it will fail. I've tried using syntax like > and >=, but then I get the following error:

Logism evolution works great and is quite modern.

According to Logisim it creates the correct sequence for full stepping on a bipolar configuration. Falstad's Circuit simulator is another one you might try.

Did you check logisim-evolution? It is an active fork of logisim maintained by several lecturers at the Bern University of Applied Sciences.

In school, I worked on an introductory CS/EE class many, many moons ago, and I believed we used something like "logisim", which by then was pretty awesome - you could build simple things like adders, combine those with "macros" to bui;d ALUs and then whole simple CPUs.

Since then, the logisim project has discontinued, but it looks like there is a open source successor:

Have not tried it, but it looks promising, provided you don't want to do too complicated things (not sure if you could really model complex CPUs like a pentium with it). Also, it's pretty digital only, so I wouldn't expect Mac-Spice-like analog circuit simulation.

though i'd heavily recommend first building the circuit in a logic simulator like Logisim, or Digital before trying to build it in a game for an FPGA. (Digital even allows you to export circuits as Verilog/VHDL, and as a certified lazy person, that is very useful)

Logisim-evolution An alternative free and open-source tool to design and simulate digital logic.

See if you are comfortable playing in https://github.com/logisim-evolution/logisim-evolution

Theres the open source Digital (https://github.com/hneemann/Digital) which can run simulations but then export Verilog. If you have an ICE40 based GPU then in theory you can then use open source tools (like apio) to get that onto your FPGA. I've seen some impressive fpga tasks being generated by that.

I'm early in my learning of FPGA and have done nandgame and some other non-HDL circuit learnings. I have gone back and forth if I want to design my project via HDL or via something like Digital. There's not an easy pro/con either way.

Used the recommended JRT https://adoptium.net/

Wandered through the https://github.com/hneemann/Digital site and saw past issues with JRT but no obvious solution.

I have a couple hundred GALs of same or similar model number of new old stock

Check if https://github.com/hneemann/Digital and/or Logisim are for you.

someone posted a logic gate graph some days ago which sent me through a loop of remaking a 4bit multiplier i designed in Digital Logic, in desmos. unfortunately everything is pretty much explicitly defined and put together as to maintain only the appearance of this exact circuit, so theres no ui for placing components drawing wires and building your own circuits. yet ;]

This is my favorite book and I read it while trying to create the circuits myself before learning the chapter using digital - it's very enlightening and I recommend you do the same
