Hi All, Teaching with GHDL is an excellent way to get through the syntax. We have been working on methods for doing the equivalent of writeln so that we can print both on the console and our DE2 Altera LCD displays, with the addition of modules in Quartus. The goal is to be able to prototype quickly in GHDL and then move toward the hardware.
Extra stuff like LED's and switches are in development. It is a slow process, but I have the feeling that it would be very compelling for teaching. ADA is not a real popular language (like Java is). I think Chris Grimm had a JavaCC example for VHDL...but I could not find it (perhaps someone knows where it is)... The compiler should probably be ported to something like Java, then VHDL could be a "write once, run anywhere" type language, and that would be a hoot. - Doug _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
