When we see any of our customers doing FPGA design by
schematic entry,
it's usually a sign that something is dreadfully wrong with their
engineering department, because it's akin to trying to build a rocket
out of bubble gum and paperclips (at least with what modern FPGAs are
purposed for). Just don't do it. Learn Verilog or VHDL, or better
yet both. They will take you far.
Well I have been digging for information on using the DE0 board
on the net. It seems to be TWO types of information. A) Use schematic
entry for the push button switches. B) Use the latest bells and whistles
to have everything auto compiled for you.
What I am looking for is 1) Generic SDRAM interface with a 25 Mhz clock.
2) A Industry Standard Uart interface. 3) Generic flash controller
interface. I don't see that around. Also a good generic POWER up reset
circuit would be handy.
