Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems: A Tutorial Approach

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.
