While ARM continues to make inroads into the personal computing market against traditional chip makers like Intel and AMD, it’s not a perfect architecture and does have some disadvantages. While it’s ...

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 ...

A new technical paper titled “Customizing a Large Language Model for VHDL Design of High-Performance Microprocessors” was published by researchers at IBM. “The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in ...

For the past several years, I have had the privilege to chair the IEEE 1076 VHDL working group. In March, we handed off the revisions to the VHDL LRM to our technical editor to finalize the document ...

Editor’s Note: In this series of articles based on his book – Design Recipes for FPGAs – Peter Wilson provides a basic quick overview of VHDL (VHSIC hardware description language) followed by ...

Designers of electronic hardware describe the behavior and structure of system and circuit designs using hardware description languages (HDLs)—specialized programming languages commonly known as VHDL, ...

Last time, in the third installment of VHDL we discussed logic gates and Adders. Let’s move on to some basic VHDL structure. All HDL languages bridge what for many feels like a strange brew of ...

Aldec’s Active-HDL™ enables FPGA designers to take full advantage of the many features within the latest revision to VHDL and helps improve design verification efficiency. Henderson, NV – January 20, ...

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 ...

This series of articles is designed to give concise and useful summary information on important language constructs and usage in VHDL – helpful and easy to use, but not necessarily complete. It will ...
