# Beginner VLSI Design Project

Starting in Spring 2024, TechOps has started the initiative to run technical projects covering aspects of VLSI Design. To get people started, we're introducing some beginner "Labs" for people to familiarize themselves with the technology.

### Resources:

{% embed url="<https://hdlbits.01xz.net/wiki/Main_Page>" %}
HDL Bits: your primary resource for learning Verilog
{% endembed %}

HDL Bits is your best resource for self-learning Verilog. It has modules, assignments, etc so you can practice and also build your mini-projects there

{% embed url="<https://www.edaplayground.com/>" %}

For people that already have a background on how RTL works, you can try writing some stuff up in here to simulate it. It's a more robust tool than the simple editor in HDLBits.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.berkie.ee/techops/getting-started-projects/beginner-vlsi-design-project.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
