Changes to the Second Edition

The second edition of the text now includes Altera's 10.1 student edition software which adds support for Windows 2000 and designs that are three times larger using the new 70,000 gate UP 1X and UP 2 boards. All designs in the book's CD-ROM have been updated to work with the original UP 1 board or the newer UP 1X and UP 2 boards using the new Altera student version software. The additional logic and memory in the UP 1X's FLEX 10K70 is useful on larger design projects such as computers and video games.

In addition to the new software, the second edition includes an updated chapter on programmable logic, new robot sensors and projects, optional Verilog examples, and a meta assembler which can be used to develop assembly language programs for the computer designs in Chapters 8 and 13.
