    • Hello everyone!

      Welcome to the Digital Systems Design with VHDL course. Nowadays digital systems are everywhere. There are more electronic components in modern cars than mechanical parts. You might already know how to design digital systems using schematic diagrams, but in this course, we will learn how to create them using hardware description language such as VHDL. Digital circuits created during the practical classes will be implemented on FPGAs. FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are an example of reconfigurable computing systems that are gaining more and more popularity these days.

Week 2. Introduction to VHDL. Lab tutorial 1

  • Week 2. Introduction to VHDL. Lab tutorial 1

    • During the lecture, we will talk about the hardware description languages and the basics of the VHDL.

      During the practice, we will do the first lab tutorial. It will introduce Vivado IDE which we will use throughout the course. We will learn how to create a design entity and verify it using a testbench.
