We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "VHDL",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Platform accelerates motor control development from
Arrow Electronics (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Arrow's MotionFire platform provides all of the hardware, software and documentation needed to rapidly and cost-effectively implement motion control systems".
The day before,
we featured the news release VMEbus board provides serial resources from
Pentek: "Pentek's Model 4207board brings to designers power, speed and connectivity in a single-slot solution".
In January 2008, we covered the news from National Instruments
concerning its LabView and board-level instruments
- take a look at Test technologies keep up with design complexity
which says: "Eric Starkloff highlights five trends he expects will significantly influence the test and measurement industry over the next three years".
Take a look also at the news release from SystemCrafter, Automatic synthesis from SystemC to HDL,
as well as FPGA synthesis accepts VHDL and Verilog from Mentor Graphics UK,
and Software partnership aids FPGA simulation from Zuken.
