i think it depends on what kind of work you want to do. if you want to do digital design, well, i'm under the impression that fpga work is that it is something that digital designers kind of fall into based on the requirements of the project that they're given.

starting new job today, woo. involves porting a lot of existing hdl IP into alteras qsys system level integration tool. qsys is pretty nice from what I have seen, the company has full designs with nothing than a top level hdl file and one hierarchical qsys system. how are the system integration tools in xilinx land, are they comparable?

yah thats me there's a surprising amount of exhibit houses out there. if you're on the coasts there's a lot more opportunities.... if you're seriously interested in the field look around for interactive systems design/fab places

it started as a circular buffer of commands but then i realized that because some commands are much more frequent than others either the buffer needs to be massive or it needs to have flow control so now im thinking about adding some notion of loops and nested loops and hopefully it stops there

generators are nice for making a bunch of config registers from a set of basic definitions about what the bits in each register do and not needing to hand code up a bunch of registers, or for hooking up a bunch of interrupt wires into status registers where you are going through several definitions of what interrupt status goes to each bit as a project evolves and you want to just be able to change a list of bits and what they do and have them automatically make registers. you don't need it, but for certain things where you know you are gonna have the same RTL repeated hundreds or thousands of times it can make the RTL generation and the process of stitching it all together a lot easier.

that's fine, but it could totally be the case where you'd built something "flexible" that went through the same tool delay as more "rigid" constructions and I was going to have a hearty laugh at ur expense which I still might, idk
