-This directory contains the sources of GHDL, the VHDL simulator.
-
-GHDL is not an interpreter: it generates machine code from your design,
-the only way for high speed simulation.
-
-Main features are:
-- handle very large designs like leon3/grlib.
-- can write waveforms to a vcd or fst file.
-- available on Linux (x86 and x86-64), Windows and Mac OS x
-- partial support of PSL
-- support vunit (https://github.com/LarsAsplund/vunit)
-- support OSVVM (http://osvvm.org) through the VPI interface
-- support cocotb
-
-GHDL fully supports IEEE 1076-1987, IEEE 1076-1993, IEE 1076-2002 and
-partially the 1076-2008 version of VHDL.
-
-GHDL is free software.  See the file COPYING for copying permission.
-The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different
-terms; see the individual source files for details.
-
-Doc is available on http://ghdl.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

-Building GHDL (Short instructions)
-**********************************
-
-If you aren't on linux, see below for full instructions.
-
-You need GNAT GPL 2014 (or later) for x86 (32 or 64 bits).  GNAT is the GNU Ada
-compiler and GNAT GPL is very easy to install (download anonymously from
-libre.adacore.com, untar and run the doinstall script).  You also need
-zlib (for Debian or Ubuntu: install zlib1g-dev package).
-
-In the GHDL source directory, configure and build:
-$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
-$ make
-
-At that place, you can already use the 'ghdl_mcode' built in the directory.
-You can also install GHDL (the executable is installed as 'ghdl'):
-$ make install
-
-That's all!
-
