VHDL 101 – Hierarchy in VHDL Code

All designs need structure to make them easy to develop and maintain. We all use abstraction in our designs regardless of if it being electronics, software, or mechanical. In this article we will look ...

VHDL 101 – IF, CASE, and WHEN in a Process

Last time, in the third installment of VHDL we discussed logic gates and Adders. Let’s move on to some basic VHDL structure. All HDL languages bridge what for many feels like a strange brew of ...

Simulating VHDL Of An AVR8 Soft Processor

Okay, now we’re beginning to feel a bit like [Alice]. This tutorial shows you how to simulate VHDL code. This code is intended to run on an FPGA and includes a software-only version of the AVR 8-bit ...

FPGA Used VHDL For Fractals

Over on GitHub, [ttsiodras] wanted to learn VHDL. So he started with an algorithm to do Mandelbrot sets and moved it to an FPGA. Because of the speed, he was able to accomplish real-time zooming. You ...
