Good source for System Verilog

[A Novice]

Hi All,
Can anyone point me to some good tutorials on system verilog.
I found The Digital Electronics Blog (http://
digitalelectronics.blogspot.com/) to be of great help in terms of
front end and all things except SV.

Thanks for your help.

I suggest you try registering on the SV User Group www.svug.org
and ask on the forum there. You should get plenty of
suggesions.

There *is* some stuff around on the Web, but I haven't really
seen anything I like yet. (But I suppose I *would* say that,
since I make my living from training courses in SV and other
languages.) If you look on Amazon for books on SystemVerilog
you'll find the Davidmann/Flake/Sutherland book on design,
Chris Spear's book on verification, and a few others; all
are worth a look, but like most technical books these days,
they are not cheap.

Tool vendor documentation is often a useful place to look.

Oh, and keep coming back here with specific language queries
as your interest develops.

Good luck

http://www.eda.org/sv
the Systemverilog 3.1a LRM (draft). It's the
predecessor to the formally adopted IEEE Systemverilog 1800-2005 standard.

Don't try to learn the language by reading the LRM -- I found Chris Spear's
"Systemverilog for Verification" and Sutherland's "Systemverilog for Design"
to be good 'beginner' books. Actually, read the Sutherland's book first,
because that does a good job of explaining which language features
are synthesizeable, and which aren't.

Advanced topics like object-oriented Systemverilog testbenches (OVM/VMM/URM)
should be left for later, after you've given yourself the chance to learn
Systemverilog's
new syntax features.
