Course description:
The course is about digital hardware design using VHDL, VHDL is language that is used to describe digital circuits. It's not a usual software programming language, so the course is not about the syntax of the language; The course focuses on digital hardware design techniques and how to build a digital circuit from the ground up.
Prerequisites:
You need some basic knowledge about digital circuit components: logic gates and flip flops.
Course contents:
The course and slides are based on the book "RTL Hardware Design Using VHDL Apr 2006"
