Erfarenhet av följande VHDL-böcker?
Postat: 2 augusti 2009, 16:44:09
Skall läsa en kurs i VHDL nu till hösten och två kursböcker föreslås, därför undrar jag om någon har erfarenhet, åtminstone av någon, utav dessa böcker.

Ashenden's book is very good if you are a skilled programmer. It also contains an excellent index. Well recommended. However, it can be complicated for beginners that have never used a hardware description language before and students who are less skilled in programming. Also, different FSM modelling styles is poorly described. Works perfectly as reference book after the course.
Sjöholm and Lindh's book is simpler and more targeted for beginners or hardware designers not so skilled in programming. It covers FSM modelling styles in a satisfactory way. Unfortunately, the index is not so good. Therefore, it only useful to read to learn the language (VHDL). It is not good enough to have as a reference book after the completion of the course. Recommended for students with less skills in programming.
