I put a blog entry up on the Oasys blog about their new release, which is the first to support VHDL. But a couple of people told me it was a nice recounting of history so I decided to put a more ...

The data objects in VHDL and Verilog form expression operands. Knowing the operand differences between the two HDLs helps you write more efficient chip-design code. Expressions consist of operators ...

We’ve been fans of the Yosys / Nextpnr open-source FPGA toolchain for a long while now, and like [Michael] we had no idea that their oss-cad-suite installer sets up everything so that you can write in ...

VHDL and Verilog are hardware description languages, used to describe and define logic circuits. They’re typically used to design ASICs and to program FPGAs, essentially using software to define ...

For those who are new to hardware description languages (HDLs), or looking to refresh dormant skills, Nazeih Botros’s HDL Programming Fundamentals provides a basic course in both VHDL and Verilog.

This course will give you the foundation for using Hardware Description Languages, specifically VHDL and Verilog for Logic Design. You will learn the history of both VHDL and Verilog and how to use ...

I can hear some of you asking the question already: “VHDL? That’s still around?” Essentially relegated to the status of Verilog roadkill in the HDL wars back in the 1980s, the VHSIC Hardware ...

High-level synthesis (HLS) tools, which transform C/C++ source code to Verilog/VHDL, have been commercially available for over 15 years. HLS tools from FPGA vendors and EDA companies promise improved ...
