Abstract
The integration of Very High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) has transformed modern embedded development by enabling efficient hardware design, rapid prototyping, and customizable solutions for diverse applications. This paper explores the critical role of VHDL in defining hardware behavior at a high level of abstraction and its synergy with FPGA design workflows to achieve optimized, scalable, and robust embedded systems. Key considerations, including simulation, synthesis, and implementation, are discussed, alongside advancements in FPGA architecture and development tools. The work also highlights practical use cases across domains such as telecommunications, automotive systems, and IoT, demonstrating how these technologies accelerate innovation and enhance performance in embedded development.
Keywords: VHDL, FPGA, Embedded systems, Hardware design, Rapid prototyping, FPGA design flow, Simulation and synthesis, IoT applications, Automotive systems, Telecommunications
