I'd like to learn the basics of either VHDL or Verilog Programming

kkazem
kkazem over 3 years ago

It seems that FPGAs are a hot topic these days and becoming more important all the time. A few years ago, I never thought I would use an FPGA, but that's changed now. I had a brief intro to VDHL at UC, Irvine in Electrical Engineering school, but us students we're really on our own with just a book. I'd like to see a tutorial or short course with the basics of programming in VDHL or Verilog or both. I realize there are differences, such as that one of them is strongly typed and the other is not. But I think it would be useful to learn the basics of both.

    Not an answer. However, there will be a storm of FPGA blog posts coming soon in the /challenges-projects/design-challenges/summer-of-fpga challenge.

    30 Challengers x 5 Blog Posts = Too much FPGA fun!

    @scottiebabe Is that the summer of 2021 or the summer of 2022? (lol). Aren't many of the FPGA dev tools such that you don't need to write in VHDL or Verilog and the dev tools translates for you or uses pre-made IP that the user can tailor to their own requirements? In other words, isn't little to no VHDL or Verilog code writing required?

    Element14 content:

    michaelkellett, jc2048 and I have been blogging simple examples and exercises during this summer and autumn.

    VHDL RAM on a Cyclone.

    Programmable Logic (FPGA, CPLD, etc) section of Jon's table of content (more than 10 projects)

    A series of 20+ projects and exercises. Focus is on Zynq but there are several pure VHDL posts in there - beginner style.

    Tutorials I used to get started:

    FPGAs!? Now What? by Dave Vandenbout
