Some basic FPGA Specs
Cliff Notes - FPGA’s
Definitions
Program | Purpose |
---|---|
Quartus: | Programming a board |
Modelsim: | Designing and Testing Programs |
FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array.
Each FPGA vendor manufactures devices with a proprietary architecture. This architecture will include a number of programmable logic blocks connected to programmable interfaces.
To configure a device for a particular functional operation these interfaces are programmed to route signals b/t individual logic blocks.
Process
Your design is in the form of Verilog, which is an HDL (Hardware Description Language). Design consists of:
- Code
- Simulation
- Synthesis (create a netlist that accomplishes the specification)
- Compiled
Specifics for the De10-Lite
- 2 pushbuttons
- 2 ADC’s built in
