Sigasi Introduces Software Development Kit for Electronic Design Automation ToolsSigasi, a leading developer of HDL design solutions, today announced Sigasi's Software Development Kit (SDK) for developers of third party electronic design automation (EDA) tools. Any commercial EDA vendor can now add state-of-the-art modern editor features to their tools. This also applies to large design or verification teams with in-company tools. Sigasi has been developing a unique, editor-focused code analyzer for Verilog, VHDL and SystemVerilog, which excels in dealing with incomplete (and even broken) code. The Sigasi's SDK offers a fast feedback loop to developers when they are coding. This greatly improves the productivity, focus, satisfaction and quality perception of the entire EDA tool used by FPGA or ASIC design/verification engineers using VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog. "We founded Sigasi in 2008 with a mission to redefine digital design. Our Integrated Design Environment (IDE), Sigasi Studio, is now the tool of choice for many hardware engineers in very diverse industries," said CTO and co-founder of Sigasi, Hendrik Eeckhaut. "In a fast-changing world, engineers need to be able to rely on design and verification tools they can trust. It makes sense to offer our features to other EDA tools and continue to build strong partnerships that offer value to our end-users." The SDK has already caught the attention of companies looking to bring greater efficiencies into their design processes. "When we reached out to Sigasi in 2018, we were looking for new best-in-class HDL editing features for our Vivado Design Suite," says Robert Shortt, Distinguished Engineer at Xilinx (News - Alert), Inc. "I was happy to learn they were already working on a Sigasi Language Server based on the Language Server Protocol. Afer a cooperative integration effort, we are happy to now be able to offer Sigasi features to Vivado users." "We are pleased to be working with Xilinx on integrating the Sigasi SDK into their Vivado Design Suite," explained Bob Seghers, General Manager of Sigasi. "We are working with several other companies in building strong partnerships that add real value to engineers. This means we take all technical and business steps very thoroughly and want to fully understand the needs of our partners to better benefit the engineers." The Sigasi SDK is written in Java and runs as a separate process. It will never slow down the third-party tool's responsiveness and offers an expansive list of features:
