THIS PROGRAM IS NO LONGER MAINTENED

A python version was developped (https://github.com/LaurentCabaret/pyVhdl2Sch). This C++ version stays here as (dirty) reference.

Vhdl2sch

Vhdl2sch stand for VHDL to schematic converter.

If you need to create a illustration schematic of your VHDL entities Vhdl2Sch is made for you.

It parse your file, find the entity and create the corespondant schematic with Latex/Tikz.

Result

The result is a pdf (if latex is installed) with a very narrow bounding box so you can import it in a latex document easily.

Supported OS

Linux Not yet windows Not yet MacOs

How to use it

Requirements

• QT 4.8 (not tested on 5.0 and 5.2)

  sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/aegyptus

Compilation

cd exe/
make

Test

just execute Vhdl2LatexSch It will produce demo.pdf

./Vhdl2LatexSch

If it is ok you now can use Vhdl2LatexSch.

Install

Copy Vhdl2LatexSch to /usr/bin/ or elsewhere in your path

Usage

Vhdl2LatexSch test.vhd 

with "test.vhd" your file to convert

How to improve it

Requirements

qtcreator on debian/ubuntu

apt-get install qtcreator

open the source/Vhdl2LatexSch.pro and configure your project to build in exe/

What could be very cool to implement (help required)

• Auto finding of component usage and global schematic (with sub files) generation
• Multiple schematic theme (using keywords to select look and feel like in beamer)
• A clean way to install it (a package ?)
