    The OSS CAD Suite [0] is a good open-source toolchain for this stuff. You can then write hardware designs in the SytemVerilog language (VSCode has some plugins, I believe, but I've just been using a basic text editor) and use the build toolchain to compile ("synthesize") and program e.g. an FPGA with your designs.

    (FWIW, I've only just taken a class on Verilog this past Spring, but we used oss-cad-suite and I found it pretty straightforward to use. The bundled version of Verilator had some issues on my Mac though, so I had to compile my own copy of Verilator.)

  • FPGA Dev Boards for $150 or Less

    I've followed this tutorial recently, and it's amazing:

    https://github.com/BrunoLevy/learn-fpga/blob/master/FemtoRV/...

    The author includes detailed instruction for how to build a micro-controller in Verilog on an icestick, starting from a very simple blinker all the way to a functional RISC-V core.

    My other suggestion would be: for most of the toolchain, skip your package manager and directly install the binary artifacts published on this Github repo:

    https://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-build

    You'll spare yourself a world of pain.

    You can compile and install from source or you can install the TabbyCAD software suite. It can be freely downloaded here: https://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-build.

    I use a pre-built suite of tools from Yosys called the OSS CAD Suite, you can find binary builds at https://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-build
  • How to update GTKwave?
    1 project | /r/FPGA | 11 Feb 2023
    OSS CAD Suite gives you the absolute latest version of GTKWave (3.4.0), plus Icarus Verilog and a bunch of other stuff. On Windows though you need to use the start.bat or environment.bat scripts though to make the tools available in a command prompt.

    There's a darwin-arm64 asset for https://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-build/releases at least. Installation is just 4 steps (see the readme). It just worked for me on Windows and Linux at least.
  • (System)Verilog Linting in VSCode?
    3 projects | /r/FPGA | 13 Oct 2022
    You’ll need to install the latest iverilog version. The easiest way to do that is to install https://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-build
  • I really liked the OSS CAD Suite collection put together by YoSYS so I made a version manager for it
    2 projects | /r/FPGA | 11 Aug 2022
    I'm a macOS user that's recently been looking for a great FPGA development workflow for macOS. I recently discovered this collection. I liked that this was a nightly build but wanted a way to maintain the version of the tool suite used with my sources so I built a version manager for it here https://github.com/nishtahir/icicle. I'm still testing it and ironing out the kinks but would appreciate any feedback.
  • Do you work in a mixed HDL shop?
    2 projects | /r/FPGA | 2 Aug 2022
    It also seems like YosysHQ's prepackaged OSS CAD Suite ships with the GHDL plugin, making installation a breeze compared to building from source (just extract the suite and add to PATH).
  • Is there a Free, open source FPGA programming software?
    2 projects | /r/FPGA | 10 Apr 2022
    The other is oss-cad-suite which is a more traditional binary distribution in the form of a tar ball that you download, extract and add to your path.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing vscode-terosHDL and oss-cad-suite-build you can also consider the following projects:
