Reminds me of a comment I saw on reddit:
"Verilog/SystemVerilog are not languages many people write about online. Reading Synopsis documentation and occasional seminars are the best of what you can get."

As someone trying to learn Verilog better, it's frustrating.
- ci5er 10y agoJCooley @ Synopsys was great help on Usenet in the early 90s. I don't know what's up about that now. EDIT: But still ... the tooling is pretty stable. I don't know that I would turn to an HN-like community to help me put a (frankly, pretty vanilla) module on a CPU bus from the Broadcom family. I know how to do that. You can go down the stack (at which point everything is proprietary) or you can go up the stack (at which everything is software). No?

John Cooley at or (508) 429-4357 edits the content of both ESNUG and DeepChip.
- ci5er 10y agoSweet! It's good to hear. He was always so super-helpful both on Usenet and directly when I was at Moto Semi way-back about 20-or-25-or-so years ago. Of course, Moto is gone, and I've moved on, but it's good to hear a knowledgeable war-horse is still still around to guide, mentor, inform and design. Knowing that warms my heart. Thank you.
