[Coco] OT: FPGA Guys out there

[Louis Ciotti]

Thanks for the book link...  did a web search and found a site with some excerpts.  Looks like a good book.

I have a couple of VHDL books and while they are good and describing the language, they lack in real world examples like you all have said.

I guess in the end I just have to keep at it and hope fully it will sink in sooner rather than later.

The one I found really useful for learning Verilog and/or VHDL was "Digital Design and Computer Architecture" by David and Sarah Harris.  It uses Verilog and VHDL to explain computer architecture, MIPS mostly.
