Edit and inspect RTL
Work with SystemVerilog source and understand module interfaces in the same focused view.
In active development
Hardware design,
made clear.
A unified EDA environment for the digital hardware workflow.
Simple Silicon is growing toward an all-in-one platform for designing, simulating, inspecting, and understanding digital systems. Today, its working foundation brings together SystemVerilog, testbenches, waveforms, module interfaces, and RTL visualization.
01 / The workbench
One environment.
A clearer signal.
Each capability available today is a building block toward a larger goal: one cohesive environment for the digital hardware design flow.
Waveforms
Explore VCD traces in context
Search signals, change display formats, and navigate simulation activity without leaving the workbench.
02 / Current capabilities
Built around the work that exists today.
Run and debug simulations
Use testbenches, run simulations, and review the resulting output without breaking context.
Explore waveforms and RTL
Open VCD traces and navigate interactive RTL structure without switching among unrelated tools.
03 / Why Simple Silicon
Serious hardware tools should not be out of reach.
Powerful EDA workflows are often separated by both financial and operational barriers. Simple Silicon is being built to lower both.
Cost and fragmentation
Commercial EDA licenses can put professional hardware development behind a steep cost barrier. Open-source alternatives are valuable, but they can be fragmented, difficult to discover, configure, and operate as one coherent workflow.
One accessible environment
Simple Silicon aims to bring the essential parts of the digital design flow into one clear desktop environment—making capable tools easier to find, learn, and use without hiding their engineering depth.
04 / Product philosophy
“Make it simple,
make it precise,
make it beautiful.”
Digital hardware is sophisticated by nature. The tools used to understand it do not need to be unnecessarily complicated. Simple Silicon is shaped around clear hierarchy, deliberate interaction, and the belief that precision and approachability can coexist.
05 / Status & direction
From a focused foundation
to one complete environment.
A working foundation
DUT and testbench workflows, simulation, VCD exploration, module inspection, and interactive RTL visualization are available in the current application.
An all-in-one EDA environment
The broader direction is a cohesive and approachable platform spanning increasingly complete digital-design workflows—built step by step from a credible working foundation.
06 / The creator
Designed for the way
hardware is understood.
Simple Silicon is designed and developed by Iker Garcia Morales, an Electrical Engineering and Robotics & Mechatronics Engineering student focused on VLSI, integrated circuits, and digital hardware.
