Second Edition, ISBN 1-55860-329-8 or -327-7
Reading and homework assignments are from this book.
Reference book:

Either "The Student's Guide to VHDL" by Ashenden or better
"The Designer's Guide to VHDL" by Ashenden are good.

You need access to a VHDL compiler and simulator All students must have an account on the UMBC gl machines. The some homework will use the "submit" mechanism. All students must be able to access the WWW to get assignments. Modem and telnet connections are available for remote use. Also, Linux may be used for working the simulation project.
