Learn VHDL when coming from strong Verilog background

I have a strong Verilog and digital design background. I'm now in a position where I have to learn VHDL quickly, preferably in a few weeks. What would be the best way to approach this?

Solution

  • If you have a strong base of digital design, you should definitively read Peter Ashenden's book Designer's Guide To VHDL. VHDL needs more code to describe a program, but it often catches errors missed by verilog, emphasizes unambiguous semantics and is portable, just to name a few. Just get familiarized with the concepts and you should be ready to understand it in no time.
