Out of curiosity,

Any HDL programmers here? Verilog, VHDL, Bluespec,... Anyone?

not me, but I'm interested in learning it one day or another just for fun.

my brother is, but no devRant'r yet

I write verilog occasionally, what's up?

@milkybarkid oh great! Just want to know how many people here are into hdl. So, you do it as a hobby?

Kinda, I would get the odd bit of FPGA work thrown my direction in work but it's mostly my own projects; I did an implementation of an Ethernet MAC in verilog on the NetFPGA-1G-CML for my final year project. Work paid for the board because there was potential for designing our own Ethernet testing device (we write drivers for network processors) instead of using things like the Spirent Test Center which cost a fortune.

@Lahsen2016 Verilog is much easier coming from a C background in terms of syntax.

I keep meaning to give SystemVerilog a go

@milkybarkid sounds great!!

@Lahsen2016 people from c background generally prefer Verilog. If you are learning purely out of interest, then it is a personal preference. Try both before settling. But if you are doing for a job, you should probably learn what you will be using there.

P.s: I personally hate VHDL

I do Verilog sometimes.

i know VHDL

Vhdl I don't really enjoy it much though.

@Virobot @nickj @ragecoder job or hobby? Can you tell me about it?

@Raamakrishnan university projects, could prolly be a hobby in the future cause its interesting

@Raamakrishnan I had Verilog in my curriculum for my studies. So I did it then.
