Comment on Ask HN: What development tools have you been using lately?

Comments

I'm using VScode and Lushay Code, with YoSys, to do Verilog coding for a Tang Nano 9K FPGA board, once I got the fact that I had to use a specific release date of YoSys due to build issues in the latest release, it all works great. I'm learing how to use the PLLs on board, and hope to build an all mode transceiver for 0-150 Mhz around it.

I'm a fan of WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), which allows me to have Ubuntu on tap at any time on my Windows 10 machines. I also like Virtualbox for running older systems like OS/2.

On my phone, I use Termux, and SimH to carry around a VAX 11/780 running VMS 7.2

When it comes to DSP, I find that GNU Radio works well enough to do experiments with Software Defined Radio.

Across everything, GIT is one of the best software tools since the days of PKzip files on floppy disks for keeping a handle on source code versions. I push everything to GitHub for backups.
