Compared to most IP cores, which come as binary, it's quite

is a relatively small price to pay, IMO.
No one uses AHDL. I'm frankly surprised it's still supported
at all. I STRONGLY recommend you use either Verilog or VHDL
if you want any hope at all of portability. Both schematic
capture and weird, proprietary languages will tie you
inexorably to a single vendor, and you don't want that.

I learned much
about the way a cpu is implemented from the example in
http://opencores.org/project,mcpu
What a lie. This is not open. I have to register.
I plan to use AHDL for my logic designs, once I figure out
the text format, so I can use my favorite text editor.
