+Waveforms With GTKWave
+======================
+
+GTKWave is a VCD waveform viewer based on the GTK library. This viewer support
+VCD and LXT formats for signal dumps. GTKWAVE is available on github
+`here <https://github.com/gtkwave/gtkwave>`_. Most Linux distributions already
+include gtkwave prepackaged.
+
+.. image:: GTKWave_Example2.png
+
+Generating VCD/FST files for GTKWAVE ------------------------------------
+Waveform dumps are written by the Icarus Verilog runtime program vvp. The user
+uses $dumpfile and $dumpvars system tasks to enable waveform dumping, then the
+vvp runtime takes care of the rest. The output is written into the file
+specified by the $dumpfile system task. If the $dumpfile call is absent, the
+compiler will choose the file name dump.vcd or dump.lxt or dump.fst, depending
+on runtime flags. The example below dumps everything in and below the test
+module:
+
+.. code-block:: verilog
+
+  // Do this in your test bench
+
+  initial
+  begin
+     $dumpfile("test.vcd");
+     $dumpvars(0,test);
+  end
+
+By default, the vvp runtime will generate VCD dump output. This is the default
+because it is the most portable. However, when using gtkwave, the FST output
+format is faster and most compact. Use the "-fst" extended argument to
+activate LXT output. For example, if your compiled output is written into the
+file "foo.vvp", the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  % vvp foo.vvp -fst <other-plusargs>
+
+will cause the dumpfile output to be written in FST format. Absent any
+specific $dumpfile command, this file will be called dump.fst, which can be
+viewed with the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  % gtkwave dump.fst
+
+A Working Example
+-----------------
+
+First, the design itself:
+
+.. code-block:: verilog
+
+  module counter(out, clk, reset);
+
+    parameter WIDTH = 8;
+
+    output [WIDTH-1 : 0] out;
+    input            clk, reset;
+
+    reg [WIDTH-1 : 0]   out;
+    wire            clk, reset;
+
+    always @(posedge clk)
+      out <= out + 1;
+
+    always @reset
+      if (reset)
+        assign out = 0;
+      else
+        deassign out;
+
+  endmodule // counter
+
+Then the simulation file:
+
+.. code-block:: verilog
+
+  module test;
+
+    /* Make a reset that pulses once. */
+    reg reset = 0;
+    initial begin
+       $dumpfile("test.vcd");
+       $dumpvars(0,test);
+
+       # 17 reset = 1;
+       # 11 reset = 0;
+       # 29 reset = 1;
+       # 5  reset =0;
+       # 513 $finish;
+    end
+
+    /* Make a regular pulsing clock. */
+    reg clk = 0;
+    always #1 clk = !clk;
+
+    wire [7:0] value;
+    counter c1 (value, clk, reset);
+
+    initial
+       $monitor("At time %t, value = %h (%0d)",
+                $time, value, value);
+  endmodule // test
+
+Compile, run, and view waveforms with these commands:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  % iverilog -o dsn counter_tb.v counter.v
+  % vvp dsn
+  % gtkwave test.vcd &
+
+Click on the 'test', then 'c1' in the top left box on GTKWAVE, then drag the
+signals to the Signals box. You will be able to add signals to display,
+scanning by scope.
