HDL – Full Adder Schematic

February 13, 2019March 11, 2017 by Frank DeCaire

This is a continuation of my FPGA series. I’m going to show how to create a one-bit full adder circuit using a schematic diagram in Xilinx HDL language. Then I’m going to send the compiled code to the Mimas V2 Spartan-6 board and test it. This project is for the entry-level FPGA programmer. If you … Read moreHDL – Full Adder Schematic

FPGA – Hex LED Display

February 13, 2019March 4, 2017 by Frank DeCaire

After finishing the beginner’s guide for the Mimas V2 Development Board, I decided to try my hand at a circuit that I previously built with the GAL16V8 chip. I already had the PDS file for the BCD to Hexadecimal LED display, so I decided to try that. First, I needed to figure out what I … Read moreFPGA – Hex LED Display

The FPGA

February 13, 2019March 4, 2017 by Frank DeCaire

I recently purchased an FPGA development board. Specifically, the Mimas V2 Spartan 6 board. There’s a really good introduction to this board which you can access by clicking here. The board looks like this: You can connect a micro-USB to USB cable to this board and program it from your PC. Plus, the power from … Read moreThe FPGA
