11 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hmm I did write a reply and posted some hour ago, but seems it doesnt show? :(. --- Quote End --- It got moderated, Ive approved it for you. --- Quote Start --- Next step will be and try to decide Verilog or VHDL.. seems almost as hard to choose as it was to choose between xilinx and altera.. :/ Does verilog and vhdl have same possibilities? Thanks again!! --- Quote End --- You can do pretty much the same things with both languages. Verilog handles more like C, whereas you might not like VHDL if you know C. Because VHDL has strong typing it is somewhat self linting and can prevent you falling in some traps you can in verilog, but at the end of the day its not knowing the language thats important, its understanding the underlying hardware you are going to describe with either HDL. The important thing to remember is they are NOT programming languages. They are Description languages - you describe hardware.
