When your design does not meet timing, what do you do first? Change the design/HDL, or try to tweak the tools to try harder?

How do I know when I've used enough flip-flops to buffer an external signal to prevent meta-stability?

This question is more open-ended than it may at first seem as it depends on many factors and is ultimately statistical - you cannot completely guarantee there won't be any meta-stability, you just reduce the MTBF by orders of magnitude. – Jxj Feb 9 at 7:13

I don't know if that's a fact. I would rephrase to: "What are the advantages resp. disadvantages of VHDL vs. Verilog for hobbyist/open source projects?" – stevenvh Jan 15 at 19:49

Is that not a general programming question? – Andrew Nov 2 '12 at 6:03
