Kurzbeschreibung
This book uses a "learning by doing" approach to introduce the HDL (hardware description languages) and FPGA development process to designers through a series of hands-on experiments. A wide range of examples is included, from a simple gate-level circuit to an embedded system with an eight-bit soft-core microcontroller and customized I/O peripherals. All examples can be synthesized and physically tested on an actual FPGA prototyping board.
This book uses a "learn by doing" approach to introduce the concepts and techniques of VHDL and FPGA to designers through a series of hands-on experiments. FPGA Prototyping by VHDL Examples provides a collection of clear, easy-to-follow templates for quick code development; a large number of practical examples to illustrate and reinforce the concepts and design techniques; realistic projects that can be implemented and tested on a Xilinx prototyping board; and a thorough exploration of the Xilinx PicoBlaze soft-core microcontroller.
