Im using the Xilinx Vivado with Mint Linux.

Digilent corp in Washington has Xilinx boards.

I have the Artix  Arty board, barely started with the basics using Verilog,
here goes.

I talked with a Xilinx agent he told me Xilinx has been phasing out CPLD
for
10 years and CPLD is small, so better off using plain FPGA.

I was told CPLD supports the older chips though, so would CPLD still be an
option?

Has anyone here used the Vivado suite software?
Vivado has a very long download time, they used to have a link to get the
free DVD, now there is a small feedback form where you can pay $30.00 for a
memoy card they can put Vivado on, or your reason why you want the DVD.

I went with the DVD it took almost 2weeks to be sent from Japan.

I found a few older books on Verilog so hopefully I can learn all commands
etc.

Can one get any coding advice here, I do believe in working out coding
problems on your own if you can.
