Your first 60 seconds inside Siliflow
Forget Makefiles, Tcl commands, and terminal flags. Once installed, simulating your first digital circuit takes three simple steps:
- 1. Open Workspace
- File → Open Folder. Select any folder containing your Verilog (`.v`) or SystemVerilog (`.sv`) files.
- 2. Live Linting
- As you type, syntax and elaboration issues are underlined in real-time. Click any problem in the bottom drawer to jump directly to the line.
- 3. Press F5 (Simulate)
- Siliflow elaborates design dependencies, compiles, and opens your waveforms automatically.
