 		 #156134 - obscurity
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
I wonder why this information is so obscure in the literature?

Point me to a textbook that details how one should do a multi-page hierarchical schematic. I want to know everything possible and I want it spilled out exactly why there are a dozen different schematic formats. Why can't I just draw blocks and lines and have the tools know what I meant?

Not having a command of this information is certainly an impediment to progress ... my progress, anyway.

Well, let's see, rather than complain about HDLs versus schematics, I've been actually USING HDLs for the last 15 years of my professional life.
