May I remind you and others that you certainly understand the "each person does whatever they want" part. A few weeks ago, you said that you preferred Migen, because you judged that you only needed concurrent statements. Just a few days ago, you gave us your final thoughts before moving to Verilog. I am personally all in favor of "doing whatever you want". But you can not expect that someone that jumps around has equal say in the "shared direction" of a project as those who are truly committed to it. That should be obvious. -- Jan Decaluwe - Resources bvba - http://www.jandecaluwe.com Python as a HDL: http://www.myhdl.org VHDL development, the modern way: http://www.sigasi.com World-class digital design: http://www.easics.com |
