Quartus® Prime Introduction Using VHDL Designs

Does Quartus use VHDL?
Quartus^® Prime synthesis supports the following VHDL language standards: VHDL 1987 (IEEE Standard 1076-198.
7) VHDL 1993 (IEEE Standard 1076-199.
3) VHDL 2008 (IEEE Standard 1076-2008)
What do all VHDL designs begin with?
Every VHDL design description consists of at least one entity / architecture pair, or one entity with multiple architectures.
The entity section of the HDL design is used to declare the I/O ports of the circuit, while the description code resides within architecture portion.
Is VHDL outdated?
Yes, VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is still used today, especially in the field of electronic design and automation.
As described previously, there is a popular (and to some extent deserved) perception that VHDL is hard to learn and use.
While it is true that VHDL is a big and complex language, there is certainly no need to learn all of its features before beginning with your first few designs.
