HDL Reference Designs

Analog Devices Inc. HDL libraries and projects.

Support

The HDL is provided "AS IS", support is only provided on EngineerZone.

If you feel you can not, or do not want to ask questions on EngineerZone, you should not use or look at the HDL found in this repository. Just like you have the freedom and rights to use this software in your products (with the obligations found in individual licenses) and get support on EngineerZone, you have the freedom and rights not to use this software and get datasheet level support from traditional ADI contacts that you may have.

There is no free replacement for consulting services. If you have questions that are best handed one-on-one engagement, and are time sensitive, consider hiring a consultant. If you want to find a consultant who is familar with the HDL found in this repository - ask on EngineerZone.
