Book excerpt: Programmers Guide for FPGA and Verilog is specifically written with a software developer in mind. The book is an invaluable resource for understanding the power and applicability of FPGAs and how to utilize the Verilog language to develop fast, efficient, parallel designs for real world applications. Using examples of functional code, it provides the building blocks, and discusses the pitfalls of FPGA development; enabling the developer to quickly become proficient and bypass many of the common FPGA mistakes.This book is written to help a software developer with the following:* Understand differences inherent in a FPGA * Understand Verilog's simulation and synthesis constructs* Point out pitfalls that make the transition to FPGA development difficult* Design parallel applications that utilize the power of the FPGA* Provide Verilog coding examples for commonly used programming concepts* Describe best practices for improving readability and maintainability
