Just Click Run: Becoming an HDL Expert with EDA Playground

Overview

Learning an HDL and the associated methodologies requires practice, EDA tools, and a sandbox to trial examples. Becoming an HDL expert requires continuous exploration, iteration, and hands-on experience.Using EDA Playground, you can create and run HDL code quickly and easily within your browser, eliminating the need for complicated scripting, command-line switches, and waiting for a server farm slot. Over a million users are already benefitting from EDA Playground.This presentation shows how Doulos, with the support of EDA partners, is helping educate new generations of Design and Verification Engineers by offering free, frictionless access to HDL tools

Key Points

• Quickly upskilling on HDL and HVL languages
• Free access to EDA tools to practice and collaborate
• Continuous learning for Design and Verification Engineers
