Hi,
I need to write ASM hardware language for circuits. I wrote a lot
about 10 years ago for Altera chip. Now I couldn't find the ASM
hardware language definition file from Altera/Xilinx.

Please help give a connection.

Thank you.

I remember from XC4000 days the editor that would let one examine
and modify the design at a very low level. I also used it to
generate macros at a low level and instatiate those macros from
high level verilog code. I never knew that called ASM, though.

There are also the netlists, with the lowest one at the CLB or
LUT level, which one might also be able to read, write, or modify.

At FPGA densities, that is rarely useful or necessary.

For lower density CPLD devices, I believe there is still a low
level language to describe the design.

Perhaps PALASM?

Yes, it is similar language, but Altera has its own language name, and
not called PALASM.

Do you mean AHDL?
