Over on GitHub, [ttsiodras] wanted to learn VHDL. So he started with an algorithm to do Mandelbrot sets and moved it to an FPGA. Because of the speed, he was able to accomplish real-time zooming. You ...

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 ...

VHDL is all about creating logic. As a descriptive language, all the HDL languages bring something unique to programming – making true parallel logic circuit. As we take baby steps into VHDL, we will ...

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 ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Hardware description language (HDL) simulation provider Symphony EDA has introduced VHDL Simili 3.0, a VHDL simulation environment that the company claims reduces verification cycle ...

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 ...

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 ...

The growing complexity of SoCs and the reduced life cycle of electronic products demand higher levels of design productivity while meeting compressed development schedules. The reuse of design IP ...

The 8255A Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) implements a general-purpose I/O interface to connect peripheral equipment to a microcomputer system bus. The core’s functional configuration is ...

As can be seen from the VHDL, we have defined a specific 16 bit bus inthis example, and while this is generally fine for processor design with afixed architecture, sometimes it is useful to have a ...
