I’m from Norway, but I live in Bangkok, Thailand. Before I started VHDLwhiz, I worked as an FPGA engineer in the defense industry. I earned my master’s degree in informatics at the University of Oslo.

How to use Port Map instantiation in VHDL
A module is a self-contained unit of VHDL code. Modules communicate with the outside world through the entity. Port map is the part of the module instantiation where you declare which local signals the module’s inputs and outputs shall be connected to. In previous tutorials in this series we have been writing all our code…
Using Integrated Logic Analyzer (ILA) and Virtual Input/Output (VIO)
This tutorial covers using the Integrated Logic Analyzer (ILA) and Virtual Input/Output (VIO) cores to debug and monitor your VHDL design in the Xilinx Vivado IDE. In many cases, designers are in need to perform on-chip verification. That is, gaining access to an internal signal’s behavior in their FPGA design for verification purposes. One option…
What is VHDL?
In short, VHDL is a computer language used for designing digital circuits. I use the term “computer language” to distinguish VHDL from other, more common programming languages like Java or C++. But is VHDL a programming language? Yes, it is. It’s a programming language that is of no use when it comes to creating computer…
An Introduction to FPGAs & Programmable Logic
This video is an introductory presentation about FPGA and programmable logic technology. I delivered this 45 minutes talk at an event hosted by 7 Peaks Software in Bangkok, Thailand, on November 19th, 2019.
How to create a ring buffer FIFO in VHDL
Circular buffers are popular constructs for creating queues in sequential programming languages, but they can also be implemented in hardware. In this article, we will create a ring buffer in VHDL to implement a FIFO in block RAM. There are many design decisions you will have to make when implementing a FIFO. What kind of…
Basic VHDL quiz – Part 1
Put your skills to the test with this quiz with questions from the first part of the Basic VHDL Tutorial series.
Though those two codes are logically equivalent, the right one infers a transparent latch, it shouldn’t be used for synthesis.
I don’t think it does, but I’m not 100% sure what the synthesis tools do all the time.
This will infer a latch:
This shouldn’t create any latches:
