Learning Verilog For FPGAs: Hardware At Last!

Getting into FPGA design isn’t a monolithic experience. You have to figure out a toolchain, learn how to think in hardware during the design, and translate that into working Verliog. The end goal is ...

Visualizing Verilog Simulation

You don’t usually think of simulating Verilog code — usually for an FPGA — as a visual process. You write a test script colloquially known as a test bench and run your simulation. You might get some ...

Assertion Methodologies for Verilog Design

Sometimes good ideas take a while to catch on in engineering practice. The use of in-line assertions to document assumptions and check for problems in RTL code is one such idea. Long ago proposed for ...
