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.

    Whitney Knitter started a tutorial series here:

    /technologies/fpga-group/w/documents/5399/summer-of-fpgas-2-minute-fpgas-with-whitney-knitter

    nandland has provided some useful looking content here:

    Micah did an interesting live stream of a FPGA project in Verilog using Icestudio and the iCE Breaker SDK:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwhXM4oo8Gs

    Icestudio looks like a useful teaching aid as it is a lightweight development environment allowing you to easily flip between schematics and Verilog code blocks, allowing the student to focus on the Verilog blocks without getting lost/overwhelmed by the IDE.

    Looks like it could work quite nicely with Whitney's tutorials and an entry level series.

    There is also a bit of a starting out with iCEBreaker / Icestudio IDE with Verilog blocks here (skip to about 1h30m into the video to get the general idea):

    https://youtu.be/IMIKTuaKBwI?t=5921

    There is an older more academic-focused Verilog course here which takes you back to the basics rather than trying to 'sell you' on pre-made IP blocks and the IDE that 'does it all for you'.

    This entry-level digital design book is useful if you are after a side-by-side Verilog/VHDL comparison:
