This is some great stuff, thanks for all the feedback - seriously. My VHDL experience is probably about 2/3 online tutorials, and they were all behavioural. The main aim of the articles are for me to learn.

The point about documentation is valid. However, as I've has no training at all in this, I'd be writing a document that basically has no value. After this project has come to it's conclusion, I'll probably go try again using processes/methods learned.

Thanks again for the feedback :)

Learning by doing is cool.

You don't have to do it the conventional way.

It's just that from my perspective, I can only focus on the future problems. I am too traumatized from the HW experience! I almost rewrote a couple of my points again just now.:)

You are documenting via your blog in a sense. It has value. It is a high level representation of your plans for the project.
