How to start in FPGA development? - Simulation software tools
Nuria Orduna lays out a pragmatic approach to FPGA simulation, comparing Xilinx ISE with integrated ModelSim against a three-tool flow with ModelSim and Precision. She explains why independent ModelSim runs and using notepad++ for VHDL can speed debugging, and why Precision and CoreGen conversions can be painful. Read for a compact, practiced workflow to simplify simulation, synthesis, and project organization.
How to start in FPGA development? - Some tips
Starting from zero, this practical primer walks new FPGA users through the early decisions and habits that make projects work. Nuria Orduna covers how to pick a device, sketch a clear dataflow, prototype in MATLAB or C, organize VHDL entities versus functions, and use ModelSim .do files and testbenches to debug before programming the board. Read it for concise, hands-on starting points.
