FPGA Hardware Simulation Framework

[Article in Code Project](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5329919/FPGA-Hardware-Simulation-Framework-FPGA-HW-SIM-FWK "FPGA_HW_SIM_FWK Article in Code Project")

[New GitHub Project with improved performance](https://github.com/ClarkFieseln/FPGA_HW_SIM_FWK_2)

## Simulate hardware containing an FPGA programmed in VHDL interactively!

## Summary

This tool provides the following features, usually not supported by standard simulation methods:

- GUI

- concurrent input / output (up to 330Hz)

- interactive experience with emulated HW

Although no "real-time" is supported, with simulation rates of up to 330Hz the stimulus and results are fast enough

to produce a realistic HW behavior.

For a project with improved performance, with up to 40kHz simulation rates, please refer to
