RTL: Register Transfer Language

Everybody attending this course is expected to have previously studied RTL coding or at least taught themselves the basics before the course starts.

The Computer Laboratory has an online Verilog course you can follow: »Cambridge SystemVerilog Tutor

RTL is compiled to logic gate instances in a target library using a process called Logic Synthesis. RTL is also simulatable pre and post synthesis.
