Learn VHDL and FPGA Development

• Understand the VHDL design and development process
• Learn how to implement designs using VHDL development tools
• Become familiar with the various FPGA development tools available
• Complete projects from conception to full implementation

Learn the Essentials of VHDL and FPGA Development is course that will teach you the fundamentals and basics of VHDL design. Prior to working through the courses you will go through the VHDL design structure section that will explain the various concepts and terms needed to implement the projects in VHDL. In this course you will be working through various projects that will require you to go through the entire FPGA development process. You will be guided through the coding of the actual VHDL to the synthesis using either Xilinx’s development tool, Vivado or Altera/Intel's development tool Quartus. The projects in this course:

1. Shift Register Design

   1. A project that takes you through the design and simulation steps to fully test and implement a shift register.

2. Buttons & LEDs

   1. A project that is designed to teach students the very basics of VHDL as well as how to make specific pins on an FPGA inputs (buttons) and outputs (LEDs).

      
      

All of the required background and knowledge to complete each project will be explained prior to completing the projects above. There are demonstration videos and walkthroughs for each project so that you can have a deep understanding of how the project works. Walkthroughs of the completed projects are also included to further your understanding of how these designs are implemented.
