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 ...

The new Active-HDL 4.2 Standard Edition shows a 300% simulation speed improvement over the previous 4.1 version for both VHDL and Verilog designs. Additionally, for Verilog designs, Active-HDL 4.2 ...

Esperan is running its project-based HDL training courses through June and July. The aim, says the training company, is to allow designers to implement their project in hardware using supplied ...

FPGAs aren’t really programmed, they are configured. Most designers use Verilog or VHDL to describe the desired circuit configuration. Developers typically simulate these configurations before ...

This paper describes the history of the Verilog hardware description language (HDL), including its influential predecessors and successors. Since its creation in 1984 and first sale in 1985, Verilog ...

The latest version of Accellera’s Verilog-Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) standard, Verilog-AMS 2.3, unifies the standard’s previous version with IEEE Std. 1364-2005, the Verilog hardware description ...
