This a set of notes I put together for my Computer Architecture class in 1990. Students had a project in which they had to model a microprocessor architecture of their choice. They used these notes to learn VHDL. The notes cover the VHDL-87 version of the language. Not all of the language is covered (about 95%). You may use this booklet for your own personal learning purposes. You may not use it for profit (eg, selling copies of it, using it in a course for which people pay, etc). If you want to make use of it beyond these conditions, contact me and we can come to some arrangement.
