can confirm.
Maybe C++ and Python as well if you are unfortunate.

C, Ada, and whatever Assembly is pertinent to the chips you're working with.

I would say this but why not Verilog instead of VHDL?

>VHDL
How important is a hardware description language as an embedded "programmer"? I thought VHDL/Verilog was more for EEs

Not him, but as far as I know the US gov't and the rest of the world uses VHDL, but private industry in USA uses Verilog. Either way, learn one and you could learn the other.

If you plan on working with FPGAs in any capacity, it's very important.

I don't live in the US so I've learned only Verilog and I was told VHDL is an old language that Verilog has surpassed.
I'm not saying it IS, only that it is what i learned.

I've had to chase issues into the FPGA to find out where the problem really was, as well as fix it once I found it.
