7/15 So I have 3 days to (re)learn VHDL. The only EE class I took was
cs152, no 150, no 141. Any advice?
\_ uh, what is this for? And how can you take 152 without 150?
\_ so, is comp arch considered software or hardware?
\_ it's the boundary in between them.
\_ they teach it now in 61c/150.
\_ 141 is probably irrelevant for most vhdl coding tasks. 150 is
more relevant. if you've learned vhdl in the past, just do a
few exercises and you'll be fine. if vhdl is new, find someone
who knows the language well to teach you. of course, this only
addresses syntactical sugar. learning how to design once you've
learned vhdl is another matter.
\_ what's the diff between Verilog and VHDL? Adv/Disadvantages?
\_ the diff? the syntax. they do the same thing but vhdl requires
more typing and in my exp. the latest tools etc. are targetted
more at verilog. vhdl has some higher level constructs like
records and shit that can be nice for some things. verilog
is used by the vast majority of valley companies. |
