    • 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
Weeks 4 & 5. Dataflow modeling style. Lab 1

Week 3. Introduction to FPGA. Lab tutorial 2

  • Week 3. Introduction to FPGA. Lab tutorial 2

    • During the lecture, we will talk about reconfigurable computing and FPGA as an example of reconfigurable hardware. The link below points to the Xilinx webpage dedicated to numerous FPGA applications.

      During the practice, we will do the second lab tutorial. It will show how to automate the output verification during the simulation and how to synthesize the created design and implement it on the FPGA board. Save files from the folder below to the lab computer, we will need them for the tutorial.
