Logic Design Tools
We will be using Active-HDL from Aldec Inc.
This tool combines schematics, the Verilog harware description language and
simulation into one package. This tool will allow us to design at different
levels of abstraction and interfaces to a variety of implementation tools for
FPGAs and ASICs. We will be using the Aldec tools for CSE278, CSE467 and
CSE477, so learning it in CSE370 will be valuable for future classes.
Version7 of Aldec is installed in the Baxter Laboratory and the other
instructional labs. We will be giving you tutorials for learning Active-HDL.
These will be sufficient for this class, but you may want to check out the
online documentation as well.
Several tutorials are available:
Active-HDL Tutorial 0 Introduction to ActiveHDL (pdf version only)
Active-HDL Tutorial 1 Creating and Simulating Simple Schematics (pdf version)
Active-HDL Tutorial 2 Hierarchical Designs and Test Fixtures (pdf version)
Active-HDL Tutorial 3 Introduction to Using Verilog in Active-HDL (pdf version)
Active-HDL PAL Tutorial Using Active-HDL to Compile to PALs (pdf version)
