[hpsdr] FW: Verilog course (was: HPSDR Project Proposal - Spread Spectrum)

[Terry Fox]

Kirk:
Terry, WB4JFI, would be very interested in this.  I have a few books on
VHDL, and have been reading them in my spare time, but it seems like most
ham stuff is in Verilog instead.  Using the HPSDR FPGA code would be a great
place to end up, you might need to start with some simpler examples - using
Ozy as the test platform?  I might even buy a third Ozy just to make sure I
don't "destroy" either of my other two working systems.

Would using a blog with embedded video, or a series of YouTube lectures be a
way to go?  Coordinating a bunch of people for the same time of the day may
be difficult, if I understand right.

Thanks for thinking of us!  This would be very welcome.
Terry

On this note.  Would anyone be interested in learning Verilog via an
internet class?  I have taught courses in Verilog a few times, so I
could use my powerpoint slides.   I usually teach a 5 day all day
class/lab so that would be at least 20 hours worth of lecture unless I
change it a bit.  Next hurdle for me would be how can I present a
"webinar" type class on the internet and what time of day to do it?
Havent looked to see what tools there are for doing this.  Anyone
interested?  I am currently working on the Ozy, Janus, Mercury and
Penelope code under Phil Harmans direction and would be glad for others
to understand it when I'm done.
