I'm rolling out my new Basic VHDL Tutorials series
« on: July 25, 2017, 02:13:09 pm »
Hey guys!

I just launched my new VHDL blog, https://vhdlwhiz.com/.

I've always felt that the FPGA and VHDL community has a tendency to overly complicate things. Of course, if you're selling a service or an academic paper or something, you want to give the impression that you know stuff. But when it comes to learning, focusing on all the nitty gritty details kind of gets in your way.

Most people learn VHDL in a bottom-up kind of way. At Uni you first spend a year learning about the transistor, then a year learning about logic gates. And finally, you get to learn to create logic using VHDL or Verilog. This is how I learned VHDL. But if you're anything like me, you don't have the patience for this!

That's why I'm kicking off my blog by launching a top-down Basic VHDL Tutorials series.
Check out the free VHDL course:

Don't work harder than you have to!

Velkommen!

I subscribed to you channel. Never gotten around to do anything useful, but I know the need will arise so I'm mostly just lurking to keep my feel up to date.
Do you plan to use a specific toolchain at some point? Altera, Xilinx?

Thank you! I'm mostly familiar with Xilinx, but I'm planning to use the Lattice ICEstick evaluation kit for future tutorials. Simply because it's very low-cost easy to work with. The Basic VHDL Tutorials series will be purely in the simulator.

I was thinking about you today: I was implementing a LUT-like circuit ... when ... ops, I realized I had forget how to properly use "code-generate"

it was"looking for a mind-refresh tutorial" time :D
