Webinar Overview:

The VHDL language models hardware as a network of processes. Each process is a little bit of software that models a little bit of hardware. These processes communicate using signals. Having a good understanding of the mechanisms involved is vital to being able to write and understand VHDL code.

In this 45 minute webinar, Doulos Senior Member Technical Staff, Matthew Taylor, will explain these mechanisms through examples which are executed live on EDA Playground.


Topics covered are:

  •  Processes, Signal Assignments and Drivers
  •  Issues with multiple drivers, Longest Static Prefix
  •  Resolution Functions
  •  Implementing UVM-like Objections
  •  Driving Signals from Procedures
  •  Signal Attributes
  •  Passive Processes
  •  Force and Release

All attendees will receive access to the examples on EDA Playground using the Riviera-PRO™ Advanced Verification Platform from our webinar partner Aldec.

EDA Playground is an online simulation and synthesis environment provided by Doulos that is free to register and use. Find out more and start here: www.edaplayground.com
