This directory contains The VHDL Cookbook First Edition (July 1990) (c) 1990, Peter J. Ashenden This is a set of notes I put together for my Computer Architecture class. Students had a project in which they had to model a microprocessor architecture of their choice. They used these notes to learn VHDL. Not all of the language is covered (about 95%). You may use this booklet for your own personal learning purposes. You may not use it for profit (eg, selling copies of it, using it in a course for which people pay, etc). If you want to make use of it beyond these conditions, contact me and we can come to some arrangement. I will be revising the course this year, and if I get time, I expect to revise the booklet as well. I've learnt a fair bit more about the practicalities of using VHDL since I wrote the booklet. Stay tuned for info on a revised edition. VHDL-Cookbook.cpt.Hqx is a binhex'ed compactor archive. Get the file, copy it to your Mac, use binhex 4.0 to extract VHDL-Cookbook.cpt, then launch VHDL-Cookbook.cpt. It will self-extract, producing a set of Microsoft Word files. VHDL-Cookbook.ps.tar.Z is a compressed tar archive containing postscript files with the Apple Laser Prep kindly prepended by alind@eng.clemson.edu (Alex Lind). Get the archive using binary mode. The original postscript was generated from the Microsoft Word documents. Comments and suggestions welcome. Peter Ashenden Dept. Computer Science, University of Adelaide, South Australia 6 February 1991 *********************************************** Additional Information : (Author: veit@du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de) I had several problems retrieving the whole package (1.6 MB) from Australia. Probably others have, too. Thus the version available from here is splitted into the single chapters of the book. The following files represent the content of this 1.6 MB Archive available from 129.127.8.8; thus, for a complete version they have to be retrieved all together.

You may probably have, too, if you do not use an Applelaser-Printer. This is because the Cookbook was prepared on a Macintosh (assumption). The software used took care of the large number of bugs in the Apple-PS-Interpreter. So the Postscript presented here is not exactly Postscript. To circumvent trouble with other printers which use true PS, there is a header file named mac_head.ps. Before you print any file of the Cookbook you should first download the mac_head.ps file to the printer (it does not PRINT anything) then send the Cookbook chapters.
