[Open-graphics] Verilog books

[Mark]

I found the following to be reasonably good:

The Verilog Hardware Description Language, Fifth Edition by Donald E.
Thomas and Philip R. Moorby

Also, with an eye towards writing synthesizable code, I found these
helpful:

http://www.synplicity.com/literature/pdf/synplify_ref_1001.pdf (chapter 8)
http://toolbox.xilinx.com/docsan/xilinx92/books/docs/sim/sim.pdf (sections 3
& 4) http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/qts/qts_qii51007.pdf (to a lesser
degree)

The two books I started with are:

Verilog HDL Synthesis, a practical primer, by J. Bhasker
Digital Design and Synthesis with Verilog HDL, by Sternheim, Singh,
Madhavan, Trivedi

It's been a LONG time, so I don't remember how good they are.

There's also this one:

HDL Chip Design, by Douglas J. Smith

This last one is very useful for someone with VHDL experience, because
it has side-by-side examples in both languages.  I think I noticed a
few errors in its explanations of a few things about Verilog, but I
don't think they'd be a problem.


Writing good synthesizable code is probably something you can read
about somewhere, but I learned a lot from looking at examples, app
notes, talking to Howard, and experimentation.
