Effecure Healthcare. Bunker, S. In such situations, FPGA can offer very cost-effective but robust solutions. Below are some of the potential applications of FPGAs in no particular order. The amount and type of planning vary from application to application.

But creating a requirements document that captures all specific requirements and creating a design document that explains how the proposed solution would be implemented can be very helpful to enumerate potential problems and plan around them. A little bit of time spent creating a quality design document will save tons of time in refactoring, debugging, and bug fixing later. Entering the design using schematics is not used in the industry widely anymore.

So we will keep the discussion limited to design entry using HDL Hardware Description Language , specifically Verilog in this article series. Synthesis and programming are almost completely taken care of the vendor tools such as ISE and Vivado and Numato Lab configuration tools.

All necessary steps to be taken by the user as part of design entry, synthesis and programming will be explained in subsequent sections. You might also encounter the terms Register Transfer Logic or Register Transfer Language, they all mean the same in the context of hardware designing. RTL is a higher-level abstraction for your digital hardware design and comes somewhere between strictly behavioral modeling on one end and purely gate-level structural modeling on other ends. Gate modeling means describing hardware using basic gates which is quite tedious.

It is possible to describe the hardware design as sequences of steps or flow of data from one set of registers to next at each clock cycle. HDL and Verilog are explained in the next section. The reason is that FPGAs are much much more than just a bunch of gates. While it is possible to build logic circuits of any complexity simply by arranging and connecting logic gates, it is just not practical and efficient. So we need a way to express the logic in some easy to use format that can be converted to an array of gates eventually.

Before HDLs were popular, engineers used to design everything with schematics. Schematics are wonderfully easy for small designs but are painfully unmanageable for a large design think about Intel engineers drawing schematics for Pentium, which has millions of gates!

If you have some electronics background, your initial tendency will be to use schematics to realize your design instead of learning a new language This happened to me, honestly. For the aforementioned reasons, we will stick with HDL throughout this tutorial. Learning Verilog is not that hard if you have some programming background. Verilog and VHDL share more or less same market popularity, but I chose Verilog since it is easy to learn and its syntactical similarity to C language.

Want to read more about Verilog? Registration required. The picture of Mimas V2 is shown at the top of this page.

There are some differences when setting up the project for Mimas V2 vs Elbert V2 but I will point them out when it is necessary. Download from the respective product pages. Additional tools may be necessary to follow advanced topics in this series. Information about such tools will be shared as they are needed.

I have used and learnt all the concepts. Hi, if it is possible a to ask a suggestion. It seems difficult to find and very expensive and i am wondering if there is something similar and cheaper or I must use that exact board. Thanks for the help. Hi, Can ISE be installed and run on windows I remember I had problems running ISE 6 months ago. I bought a Vivado compatible board would that work with your beginners intro?

Can the designer use a block diagram for projects, to do this would I need to include all gates in just one block Diagram?
