ChipVault is a terminal based Vi
wrapper for creating and managing Verilog
and VHDL RTL ( register transfer level
) based ASIC
and FPGA digital chip designs. It was created by an ASIC designer in 2001 to improve his daily workflow.
Vi
vi is a screen-oriented text editor originally created for the Unix operating system. The portable subset of the behavior of vi and programs based on it, and the ex editor language supported within these programs, is described by the Single Unix Specification and POSIX.The original code for vi...

Verilog
In the semiconductor and electronic design industry, Verilog is a hardware description language used to model electronic systems. Verilog HDL, not to be confused with VHDL , is most commonly used in the design, verification, and implementation of digital logic chips at the register-transfer level...
