CIS 371 (Spring 2011): Computer Organization and Design

XUPV2P User Guide: the datasheet for the Virtex-II Pro boards we are using. Includes pin mappings.
DIO4 Pin Mapping: Pin mappings for the daughterboard.
Xilinx Synthesis and Verification Design Guide - information on what synthesis results to expect given HDL input code.
Xilinx Synthesis Technology (XST) User Guide - information about Xilinx primitives and Verilog examples that will synthesis to specific structures.
Xilinx Constraints Guide - information about various synthesis parameters and tuning.

The Textbook's CD-ROM links to an on-line Verilog tutorial: http://vol.verilog.com/. I've also made a local mirror of the Verilog tutorial

Verilog HDL Synthesis: A Practical Primer by J. Bhasker, 1998. A approximately 200 page overview of a synthesizeable subset of Verilog.
Advanced Digital Design with the Verilog HDL by Michael Ciletti, 2003. Verilog plus lots of digital logic design (almost 1000 pages).
HDL Programming Fundamentals: VHDL and Verilog by Nazeih Botros, 2006. A good interleaved description of Verilog and VHDL; it has approximately 500 pages, but as both VHDL and Verilog are covered, it doesn't cover that much more than Bhasker.

In addition, the textbook has a Verilog tutorial on the included CD. Look for it under "tutorials" and "Verilog".
