Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems: Sopc Edition

By Tyson S. Hall, James O. Hamblen, Michael D. Furman

Book Overview

This book provides an exciting and challenging laboratory component for an undergraduate digital logic design class. The more advanced topics and exercises are also appropriate for an upper level course in digital logic or embedded systems. The goal of this text is to introduce fully integrated modern CAD tools, logic simulation, logic synthesis using hardware description languages, design hierarchy, current generation field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology, and SOPC design in the laboratory portion of the course. Even student laboratory projects can now implement entire digital and computer systems with hundreds of thousands of gates.

A good text...

This is a good text for beginners and slight intermediate users of VHDL. The text specifies the Altera UP1 board (which was the board I used as I atttended my EE program). I discovered this text a little late...when I have graduated and am now using VHDL on the job for CPLD programming. It is a good text for familiarizing with VHDL constucts. Examples are very good compared to the Student Guide to VHDL by Peter Ashenden. If you wish to learn VHDL, My suggestions are to get this text and either of the following:VHDL for PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC by Kevin SkahillDigital Design and Modeling with VHDL by K.C. ChangWith a solid background in digital logic, these text will provide you an excellent background in digital design. Good luck.
