Linux tools for Verilog simulation

I have found iVerilog (Icarus Verilog) along with GTKWave wasy to install (both are available from Fedora packages) and wonderfully useful.

• My notes on using GTKWave

There is also "Verilator". People say it is faster than iVerilog, but for the small projects I am working on, iVerilog is more or less instantaneous, so that matters not at all to me.

• Cocotb
• Tutorial: Cocotb, iVerilog, and GTKWave
• Github: iVerilog (Icarus Verilog)
• Verilator

Verilator is also available as a Fedora package, but so far I am ignoring it. They say it compiles Verilog into C++ if I understand things right. At this point, for me, iVerilog is wonderful and I will stick with it for the time being. It is simple and easy.
