Possibly. I find lots (Most?) of IT people in the real world don't actually even understand that. Perhaps we're lucky in our audience and they (Sorry, I sound like I'm talking behind everyones backs here :) really do understand... What about relating simple logic diagrams to verilog. Explaining how the ODDRxx/IDDRxx primitives work (I know they're in the ECP2 PDF however I had to find them in there to really understand the spi-prom use of them, but that doesn't go down into the nitty gritty of the logic gates within a flip/flop. I knew that years ago, and can always reference on of my books to build one from scratch again, but how about how to build a flip/flop in logic and verilog? (Most C (And jave etc) programmers won't understand even simple logic diagrams because they've never been exposed to them. Heck most people when I did my degree avoided the hardware papers like the plague. I think there were possibly less than 10% of us that even took the second year ones must less 3rd & 4th). Hamish.
