We’ve been fans of the Yosys / Nextpnr open-source FPGA toolchain for a long while now, and like [Michael] we had no idea that their oss-cad-suite installer sets up everything so that you can write in ...
An earlier Idea For Design (“Hardware-Based LED Blinking Control Eliminates Software Overhead,” Sept. 27, 2007, p. 52) described a very interesting way to offload the software overhead required for a ...
This course will introduce students to practical design methodologies for developing applications for FPGAs and ASICs. You will learn the fundamentals for FPGA and ASIC design through software coding ...
In July 2006, the Accellera board approved a revision VHDL standard (revision 1076-2006-D3.0) put forward by the Accellera VHDL Technical Subcommittee (VHDL TSC). As an Accellera standard, revision ...
A new technical paper titled “Customizing a Large Language Model for VHDL Design of High-Performance Microprocessors” was published by researchers at IBM. “The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in ...
Simulations and prototyping have been a very important part of the electronics industry since a very long time. In recent years, FPGA’s have become increasingly important and have found their way into ...
The 8255A Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) implements a general-purpose I/O interface to connect peripheral equipment to a microcomputer system bus. The core’s functional configuration is ...
CoDeveloper, a C language design tool for Altera Nios-based and Xilinx MicroBlaze-based programmable platforms, allows creation of a complete hardware/software application with no need to write VHDL ...
