Schematic Capture

[dhruvabedre]

hi,

I am using Icarus verilog for compiling.

Please can any body tell me that
is there any schematic capture open source software
available to work with Icarus?

Thanks.

This is where we keep track of open source tools:

Most of the time RTL is input as text, not from GUI so it will be difficult to find a decent open source schematic capture program for Verilog.
As an alternative you can use FPGA design software and I think they all have schematic capture and simulation capability. It's free but not open source.

Thanks a lot Staf_Verhaegen,

If you could mention the names of free fpga softwares
that would be of great help.

From Xilinx are both the ISE design tools WebPack and the Vivado Design Tools WebPack available for free (see Downloads). The latter is the more modern one and supports the more recent Xilinx FPGAs; the former of for previous generation of Xilins FPGAs and the one I use mostly.
For the Altera also the Quartus II Web Edition should be free (https://www.altera.com/download/sw/dnl-sw-index.jsp).
Depending on the country where you live there may be some export restrictions for these American companies though.
