VHDL Programming Training for FPGA

SkillsFuture Course - VHDL Programming Training for FPGA

HDL (Hardware Descriptive Language) based design has established itself as the modern approach to design of digital systems, with VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) and Verilog HDL being the two dominant HDLs. This course is a thorough introduction to the VHDL programming language. The emphasis is on writing solid synthesizable code and enough simulation code to write a viable testbench. Structural, register transfer level (RTL), and behavioral coding styles are covered.

Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

• • Understand VHDL syntax and coding styles relevant to logic design. 
• • Write VHDL RTL hardware designs using good coding practices. 
• • Understand the synthesizable subset of VHDL. 
• • Understand problematic issues in coding hardware. 
• • Use types, overloading, and conversion functions from standard VHDL packages (std_logic_1164 and numeric_std). 
• • Print messages in testbenches using TEXTIO. 
• • Write simple transaction-based testbenches using subprograms.
• • Use your VHDL simulation and synthesis tools.
