Book Description:
VHDL-2008: Just the New Stuff, as its title says, introduces the new features added to the latest revision of the IEEE standard for the VHDL hardware description language. Written by the Chair and Technical Editor of the IEEE working group, the book is an authoritative guide to how the new features work and how to use them to improve design productivity. It will be invaluable for early adopters of the new language version, for tool implementers, and for those just curious about where VHDL is headed.
* First in the market describing the new features of VHDL 2008;
* Just the new features, so existing users and implementers can focus on what's new;
* Helps readers to learn the new features soon, rather than waiting for new editions of complete VHDL reference books.
* Authoritative, written by experts in the area;
* Tutorial style, making it more accessible than the VHDL Standard Language Reference Manual.
Summary: understandable discussion of enhancements
Rating: 4
Well, you had better be well acquainted with the earlier VHDL standard. What this book does is focus on the deltas. The changes or improvements that have been promulgated for release in the VHDL 2008. In straightforward language, the text explains how to use the new features. The basic syntax of VHDL is still unchanged, as you'd expect.
But now there are enhancements. Like in the IP encryption. To let IP vendors/owners more securely protect their code when it is downloaded to customers' machines. The discussion quickly goes over the ideas behind public key encryption and symmetric ciphers. However, all you have to know is the broad outlines of these. No indepth mathematical reasoning is necessitated. The 2008 standard comes with many parameters for IP encryption that can be tweaked by the vendor. |
