Source Navigator for Verilog
Finally, a development environment for Verilog!
Most
engineers doing design and verification with Verilog are using either vi or
emacs to edit files. vi is, well...it's vi. emacs has great potential to be
customized and is a very powerful editor, but most engineers use only the most
basic features and have no time to learn how to do more. They struggle with
large projects containing many files scattered in complex directory structures.

Navigator for Verilog is full featured tool for editing and navigating through
large projects with many verilog files. It parses verilog code into a database that
can be used to navigate files, trace connectivity, and find modules and signals
in the design. It can even parse your files as you edit so you don't launch
those long compile scripts only to end up with a syntax error after 5 minutes
of compiling.

Navigator was developed by Cygnus Software as a commercial IDE
(Integrated Development Environment) for software engineers and was later
released under the GPL by Red Hat. Source Navigator supports many languages
including C, C++, Tcl, Java, Fortran, and COBOL. There are so many similar
products for software engineers, but almost nothing available for hardware
engineers using languages such as Verilog. By adding a verilog parser to Source
Navigator hardware engineers can now enjoy the same high quality software.
