Introduction to VHDL

コースの解説

This comprehensive course is a thorough introduction to the VHDL language. The emphasis is on writing Register Transfer Level (RTL) and behavioral source code. This class addresses targeting Xilinx devices specifically and FPGA devices in general. The information gained can be applied to any digital design by using a top-down synthesis design approach. This course combines insightful lecture with practical lab exercises to reinforce key concepts. You will also learn advanced coding techniques that will increase your overall VHDL proficiency and prepare you for the Advanced VHDL course.

In this three-day course, you will gain valuable hands-on experience. Incoming students with little or no VHDL knowledge will finish this course empowered with the ability to write efficient hardware designs and perform high-level HDL simulations.

演習の解説

The labs for this course provide a practical foundation for creating synthesizable RTL code. All aspects of the design flow are covered in the labs. You will write, synthesize, simulate, and implement all the labs. The focus of the labs is to write code that will optimally infer reliable and high-performance circuits. The labs culminate in a functional calculator that you will verify in simulation.
