Download

Adds Verilog and SystemVerilog language support to the Visual Studio editor.

What it does:

  • Adds syntax highlighting for Verilog and SystemVerilog source and header files.
  • Supports .v, .vh, .verilog, .sv, and .svh files.
  • Provides individually configurable colors for Verilog/SystemVerilog keywords and syntax categories.
  • Highlights comments, string literals, macros, preprocessor directives, variables, functions, user-defined types, duplicate declarations, and nested bracket depth.
  • Identifies inactive preprocessor regions and displays inactive code accordingly.
  • Shows QuickInfo hover information for keywords, modules, declarations, variables, system tasks/functions, and unresolved symbols.
  • Supports Go To Definition for recognized Verilog/SystemVerilog symbols.
  • Supports Find All References for recognized Verilog/SystemVerilog symbols.
  • Adds code outlining/folding for modules, functions, tasks, begin/end blocks, case blocks, always blocks, if/else blocks, and preprocessor conditional regions.
  • Handles paste, delete, multi-change edits, and larger Verilog files with background parsing and refresh support.
  • Includes an (experimental) Verilog Project template preview for FPGA-oriented starter projects using external tools such as WSL, Yosys, nextpnr, ecppack, and board-specific programmers.

Set custom syntax colors in Tools - Options - Environment - Fonts and Colors.
