Hi, I need to write ASM hardware language for circuits. I wrote a lot about 10 years ago for Altera chip. Now I couldn't find the ASM hardware language definition file from Altera/Xilinx. Please help give a connection. Thank you. Weng

Now I couldn't find the ASM > hardware language definition file from Altera/Xilinx.I remember from XC4000 days the editor that would let one examine and modify the design at a very low level. I also used it to generate macros at a low level and instatiate those macros from high level verilog code. I never knew that called ASM, though. There are also the netlists, with the lowest one at the CLB or LUT level, which one might also be able to read, write, or modify. At FPGA densities, that is rarely useful or necessary. For lower density CPLD devices, I believe there is still a low level language to describe the design. -- glen

It is AHDL. Where can I find its definition file now? Weng
