VHDL Cookbook - a 111 page PDF pre-published version of The Designer's Guide to VHDL

EBook Description: VHDL is a language for describing digital electronic systems. It arose out of the United States Government�s Very High Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program, initiated in 1980.

Since the early 80's our institute has been member of different research activities and projects dealing with system- and VLSI-design.

A VHDL tutorial with good examples and links to reference and related material.

HDL (Hardware Description 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.

Configuring Spartan-II FPGAs from Parallel EPROM

Many FPGA users prefer to store configuration data on parallel PROMs because they are available in greater storage capacities than serial PROMs. A parallel PROM stores data as an addressed byte which is accessed by an address bus.

Overview of Boundary Scan and the Boundary Scan Interface in Spartan-2 FPGAs

Developed to test interconnect between chips on PCB
� Originally referred to as JTAG (Joint Test Action Group)
� Uses scan design approach to test external interconnect
� No-contact probe overcomes problem of �in-circuit� test.
