Do you have any learning materials recommendations for digital design and fpga programming?

View on HN

Alas, this is a surprisingly hard question to answer, at least for FPGA design.

Here are a few sites that helped me learn:

* https://www.fpga4fun.com

* http://fpgacpu.ca

* https://www.nandland.com/verilog/tutorials/index.html

* https://1bitsquared.com/pages/chat (Discord)

And a few interesting blogs:

* https://tomverbeure.github.io

* http://labs.domipheus.com/blog/

None of the introductory FPGA books have impressed me, so I don’t have any recommendations there. Maybe some other HN readers will have some suggestions?

Thanks! I feel the best way to learn could be a set of labs of increasing difficulty with attached testbenches for simulation self-check This specialization https://www.coursera.org/specializations/fpga-design has something like that, but unfortunately it's fairly shallow

I bought several books but this is the found I found most accessible: "RTL Hardware Design Using VHDL" by Pong Chu https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/book/5237648

Not the author, but regularly also get asked this question, and I usually recommend Digital Design and Computer Architecture, 2nd Ed [1]; supplemented with practical work on an FPGA.
