Best way to go from VHDL to "System Verilog"/&quot

[Lord Banshee]

Just wondering if anyone has tips from going to VHDL to System Verilog/Verilog ?


I have very little experience with verilog but have taken 3 classes in college which required VHDL, taking my fourth next semester. My am accepting a job with intel in May and they suggested me to learn verilog if i have time before i start, so here i am asking .

Thanks

You already know VHDL so it'll be so simple to start in Verilog, since it's much easier than VHDL. Verilog is similar to C, so if you have a background on C then life would be rose . Some of the "features" of VHDL are dropped out in Verilog, and that's what makes Verilog much simpler! There are tons of books here in the forum that you can start with, just taking a quick idea about Verilog before the SystemVerilog switch. When going for SystemVerilog, you'll need some of the VHDL again. SystemVerilog is considered a superset of Verilog, and it includes some of the VHDL features that aren't already available in Verilog!

Here's a very interesting paper about SystemVerilog, and how it's the merging between Verilog and VHDL.

for verilog...there's the book of palnitkar...Verilog HDL
the one of morris mano...digital design
the one of thomas and morby...the verilog Hardware description language

they're alllllll here on the forum...

for systemverilog, i adore the 2003 DAC presentations

http://www.systemverilog.org/pdf/SV_Symposium_2003.pdf

there are also accellera presentations in the same DAC

and there are always the tutorials of doulos

enjoy..!
