Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
SystemVerilog functionality in the pro version would be a plus for development of FPGA based boards

Describe the solution you'd like
Inclusion of language support and compiler for FPGA solutions. Simulator is better with 3rd party software like f.ex. ModelSim.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Including a CLI compiler to be callable from the IDE, where all necessary scripts etc. included in automatically the same way as MCU sources are included and hidden in MCU Arduino solutions.

Also, as a user, the FPGA brand is not of importance, so if f.ex. Xilinx FPGAs is easier to include than Intel FPGAs, this is the way to go in my opinion

Additional context
I am a university researcher, who is dealing with MCUs, FPGAs and their interconnections on daily basis. I am myself working on MCU-FPGA board(s) to ease up the research, and I know the benefits and draw-backs of using such systems. However, if the programming environments were fused into one, with the easy-to-program approach used in Arduino, this would be beneficial for many interested in learning FPGA programming in my opinion.

Actually, the SystemVerilog programming could be done in a separate environment if this is easier to implement, but including the compiler to automate the synthesis of the digital circuit and the design of the MCU-FPGA interconnection would be enough to make f.ex. the Vidor 4000 or possible future similar boards more versatile, in my opinion.
