Guys.. I am *brand new* to Aldec Active HDL. What few cpld/pals that I have done have been with CUPL.
I've started using ActiveHDL(Student Ver), writing some easy VHDL just to get acquainted with both VHDL and the Aldec tool. What I don't understand is the integrated implementation portion. If I were to want to do a Altera design, for example, do I need to have the Altera toolset installed in order to build the jedec file or does the Aldec tool do that also? I guess I am at a loss at the point between designing/simulating the project and implementation with ActiveHDL.
Help me see the light. Thanks, Jim
