 Summary
VHDL Coding Styles and Methodologies, Second Edition is a follow-up
book to the first edition of the same book and to VHDL Answers to
Frequently Asked Questions, first and second editions. This book was
originally written as a teaching tool for a VHDL training course. The author
began writing the book because he could not find a practical and
easy-to-read book that gave in-depth coverage of both the language and
coding methodologies. This new edition provides practical information on
reusable software methodologies for the design of bus functional models for
testbenches. It also provides guidelines in the use of VHDL for synthesis.
All VHDL code described in the book is on a companion CD, which also
includes the GNU toolsite with EMACS language-sensitive editor (with
VHDL, Verilog, and other language templates), and TSHELL tools that
emulate a Unix shell. Model Technology graciously included an evaluation
version of ModelSim, a recognized industry standard VHDL/Verilog
compiler and simulator that supports easy viewing of the models under
analysis, along with many debug features. In addition, Synplicity is kindly
making available an evaluation version of Synplify, a very efficient,
user-friendly and easy-to-use FPGA synthesis tool. Synplify provides a
user with both the RTL and gate-level views of the synthesized model, and
a performance report of the design. Optimization mechanisms are provided
in the tool.
VHDL Coding Styles and Methodologies, Second Edition is intended for
professional engineers as well as students. It is organized in thirteen
chapters, each covering a separate aspect of the language, with complete
examples. It provides a practical approach to learning VHDL. Combining
methodologies and coding styles, along with VHDL rules, leads the reader
in the right direction from the beginning.
VHDL Coding Styles and Methodologies, Second Edition includes a CD
that contains:
- All code included in the book
- GNU EMACS language-sensitive editor with VHDL, Verilog, and templates for other languages
- GNU TSHELL tools that emulate Unix shell
- Thirty-day evaluation of ModelSim VHDL compiler/simulator from Model Technology
- Twenty-day evaluation of Synplify VHDL/Verilog FPGA synthesizer from Synplicity
- VHDL template demonstrating the language syntax
- VHDL '87 and VHDL '93 formal syntax in HTML format
