[Oberon] Oberon - Lola compiler

I use the Lola-2 compiler frequently in my work with FPGAs.

If you're working within the Project Oberon system on an FPGA (you don't 
say) then selecting (with mouse right button) the beginning of a Lola-2 
module text and executing

   LSC.Compile @

will scan, parse and compile the text to an in-memory data structure 
(basically a netlist).

Then executing

   LSV.List Test.Lola.v

(the filename doesn't matter and doesn't have to be the same as the 
Lola-2 module name) will output equivalent Verilog code, for reading by 
proprietary or open-source FPGA tools.

These commands are provided at the top of

   https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/Lola/Sources/SmallPrograms.Lola.txt

so you can try compiling the two examples in that file.

I hope that helps, please post some more details if you're still stuck.

Cheers,
Paul
