Verilog HDL - Xilinx Related Tips and Recommendations

[bigdogguru]

Please post any tips and recommendations concerning the synthesis of Verilog designs using Xilinx FGPAs.

Hardware Description Language (HDL) coding style recommendations to ensure optimal synthesis results when targeting Xilinx devices:

Design Tips for HDL Implementation of Arithmetic Functions

VHDL and Verilog are hardware description and simulation languages that were not originally intended as inputs to synthesis. Therefore, many hardware description and simulation constructs are not supported by synthesis tools. In addition, the various synthesis tools use different subsets of VHDL and Verilog. VHDL and Verilog semantics are well defined for design simulation. The synthesis tools must adhere to these semantics to ensure that designs simulate the same way before and after synthesis. Follow the guidelines presented below to create code that simulates the same way before and after synthesis.

The centerpiece of the board is a Virtex-II Pro XC2VP30 FPGA (field-progammable gate array), which can be programmed via a USB cable or compact flash card. The board also features PS/2, serial, Ethernet, stereo audio and VGA video ports, user buttons, switches and LEDS, and expansion ports for connecting to other boards.

The EDK is biased towards VHDL, but it's very manageable to integrate an EDK processor subsystem into a Verilog design without needing a mixed mode simulator.

The purpose of the project is to recreate, on a Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), the classic version of ‘Asteroids’ by programming hardware functionality using the Verilog description language.

can anyone post vhdl coding forlinear block codes

@niazmulla This is a Verilog Group, I would suggest you post your request in the VHDL Group.
