This book uses a "learning by doing" approach to introduce the concepts and techniques for HDL, synthesis and FPGA. The book covers the design of all I/O modules of the Digilent Basys prototyping board and has prepared constraint files, project files, and configuration files. When used with this board, the book and board combo becomes a self-contained, "turn-key" solution for introductory and advanced digital design experiments and projects. The intended audience is students in an introductory or advanced digital design course as well as practicing engineers who wish to learn the FPGA and HDL based development. The book makes an excellent companion text for an introductory digital design course or an advanced project-oriented course.
本書特色
This book is different from existing digital design or HDL books. It is unique in several respects:
1 . It uses a learning-by-doing approach to introduce the concepts and techniques for HDL, synthesis, and FPGA
2 . It provides a collection of clelar, easy-to-folloow templates for quick code development
3 . It contains a large number of practical examples to illustrate and reinforce the design concepts and techniques. All examples can be implemented and tested on a prototyping board.
4 . The codes provided follow strict design guidelines and prepare the reader for developing large, complex systems in the future.
5 . Most codes were written in a device-independent and software-neutral fashion and are not tied to a particular device or synthesis software package
6 . The book contains four chapters for the Xilinx PicoBlaze soft-core microcontroller
7 . The book covers the design of all I/O modules of the Digilent Basys prototyping board and has prepared constraint files, project files, and configuration files. When used with this board, the book and board combo becomes a self-contained "turn-key" solution for introductory and advanced digital design experiments and projects.
