Free Range VHDL
February 20, 2012 by dwellangle
Free Range VHDL, by Brian Mealy and Fabrizio Tappero, is the latest in a long line of books written about VHDL. What makes this a unique offering is its simplicity as an introductory text, and the fact that it is absolutely free. The book is offered under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike Unported License, and can be downloaded in PDF and LaTeX format from the Free Range Factory website.
The book is far from a complete reference on VHDL, missing coverage of several important topics. These omissions are actually the basis for its strength. As anyone trying to learn a new language can attest, there is a fine line between introducing basic concepts and overloading the reader with unneccesary information. If you want to learn VHDL, this book may not be the final word, but can most certainly serve as the first.
