Hi Holland,

It sounds like you could use the following, since you are using
Altera and VHDL:
- Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems,
Hamblen / Furman
http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~hamblen/book/book.htm
Although much of the code is demonstrated with
an Altera system in the book, I have synthesised alot
of the modules to a Xilinx system easily.
A very enjoyable book:)

Charles McManis has some VHDL book recommendations,
and his ratings of them at:
http://www.mcmanis.com/chuck/robotics/fpga/index.html

For free, although it is a Xilinx manual, I believe you
will get a great benefit from having a read of the following:
Xilinx Synthesis Technology (XST) User Guide 3.1i
http://support.xilinx.com/support/sw_manuals/3_1i/download/

Just an extra one that I had to add, but slighly off-topic :)...
In the interests of encouraging good system design and
coding style for reuse, I would like to add the following:
- Reuse Methodology Manual For System-On-A-Chip Designs,
Michael Keatting, Pierre Bricaud
I recommend this more to practising designers, rather than
students starting out. The price of it can be a little prohibitive
for students. Also, it's not a book for learning VHDL - it's
more of a "good HDL coding practice" manual, plus many
other issues to do with reuse of IP for ASIC and FPGA design.

Hope that helps :)

Best regards

Tony Burch
