HDLBoard: a virtual FPGA board for real HDL

hdlboard.org Visit website
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

HDLBoard lets learners write and simulate VHDL or Verilog against an on-screen FPGA board, with no physical hardware required.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-28 issue.
For
VHDL and Verilog learners, especially FPGA students without hardware
Worth noticing
Five built-in profiles include DE1-SoC, DE10-Lite, Basys 3, Nexys A7, and a default board.

Field notes

HDLBoard runs designs through GHDL or Icarus Verilog and maps their inputs and outputs to simulated board controls. Users can compare a testbench with the design, inspect waveforms, and export figures as PNG or SVG. The page lists profiles for five boards and reports a GHDL check time of 0.02 seconds in its comparison with Quartus Prime Lite.
