It's a first year CS assignment in my university to modify the VHDL source of a MIPS CPU to add an instruction as well as to program in assembly. It's not that uncommon either.
- digitallyfree 5y agoThis is actually quite interesting, as this seems like something that would be taught in a CE curriculum as opposed to being in a first-year CS course. From the people I know who studied CS they may have exposure to HDL and digital logic in the upper years if they say elected to take a computer archicture course, but their introductory courses mostly focused on programming and algorithms. I guess it really depends on the school - I have a EE/CE background so I know these things, but the CS people I know mostly don't.
