FPGA Night (Apr 29, 7-10PM)

By on April 26, 2014

We will be learning about 7 segment displays and VHDL arrays. We will create a new VHDL module for displaying N numbers on a seven segment display using an array and a counter. The goal might be a little ambitious, so we might not get all the way to the end in one class. It […]

FPGA Night (April 22, 7-10PM)

By on April 20, 2014

We will be modifying our push button demo to use two buttons, and to be synchronized using clock. We will also cover how to slow the synchronized clock down to a manageable rate. This will be combined with the push button demo to see how clock synchronization can affect the sampling of an input. It […]

FPGA Night (15 April, 7-10PM)

By on April 11, 2014

We will be creating a push button project from scratch. The idea is that pressing a button connected to the FPGA will turn on a series of LEDs. We will then make the design synchronous by creating a slow clock out of a counter. We will also be creating a test bench file for the […]

FPGA Night (25 Feb, 7-10PM)

By on February 23, 2014

We will be integrating our SRAM module into our custom CPU. This will require quite a bit of modification to the existing CPU code. We will also be using the simulator to make sure our design works as planned. Please bring a breadboard and jumpers so that you can hook up the external memory chip. […]
