Has anybody experience with using EA for VHDL design/documentation?

What type of UML Diagramms are appropriate for VHDL?

Thank you

Have you looked up VHDL in the Help index? There is a Diagram Toolbox for modeling VHDL - View | Diagram Toolbox: More Tools | HDL | VHDL Constructs.

Thank you

Reading the help info got my mouth watering. Unfortunatelly it seems my EA does not include VHDL support. I have a standard version and on the EA webpage it is advertised for the Ultimate verstion.

Can anyone confirm this?
Is there a way I can install this feature without going Ultimate?

That's true - Hardware Description Languages can only be generated in the Systems Engineering and Ultimate editions of EA. What is your 'standard' edition - Professional or Corporate?

If you are going to work with VHDL, it might be worth your while upgrading to the Systems Engineering edition.

The EAExample model that ships with Enterprise Architect does have an VHDL example - see:
Project Models.Systems Engineering.Implementation Model.Hardware.VHDL

You can download the latest Trial edition from:
