FPGA Night (22 July, 7-10PM)

By on July 20, 2014

We will be continuing with adding generics to our vga_solid module. Last class left off with the h_counter, v_counter sizes and, red, green, and blue signal widths being generic. Now we will make the VGA signal timings generic as well as outputting the current x and y positions. Finally, if there is time, we will […]

FPGA Night (July 8, 7-10PM)

By on July 6, 2014

We will be converting the VGA design from last week into a module that we can reuse in other designs. The new module will make use of generics and a library that will contain settings for various VGA modes. For those of you with a Nexys3, Basys2, or Atlys, you will be able to connect […]

FPGA Night (1 July, 7-10PM)

By on June 29, 2014

We will continue using working with VGA by displaying color. There will be a brief instruction for how to display colors. From there, everyone will go do something that displays objects on the screen. The slides for the upcoming and previous classes can be found here. The slides are generally made during the three days […]

FPGA Night (24 June, 7-10PM)

FPGA Night (10 June, 7-10PM)

By on June 8, 2014

This will be the second (and probably last) class on creating a state machine to drive SRAM. We will start off with finishing the write state machine, then add in the code for reading. After that we will create a test bench to test reading and writing. Finally we will wire up the SRAM and […]

FPGA Night (3 Jun, 7-10PM)

By on June 1, 2014

We will be starting the first of two classes aimed at interfacing our FPGAs to SRAM (datasheet). This class will focus on wiring, state machines, tri-state logic, and processes. We might not get through all of the topics. The slides for the upcoming and previous classes can be found here. The slides are generally made […]
