Learn FPGA

Dive into the world of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) with this comprehensive tutorial series. Start from the basics and progress to advanced concepts over 21 in-depth lessons. Get hands-on experience by creating your first program, understanding Verilog, and exploring various methods of describing circuits. Learn about wire states, external I/O pins, and clock management. Master code reusability through modules and generate loops. Grasp essential concepts like state machines, logic expressions, and contamination delay. Gain practical skills in circuit simulation using ISim, writing test benches, and implementing Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM). Discover resource-saving techniques with distributed and block RAM, and optimize your designs with concurrent circuitry. By the end of this 4.5-hour tutorial series, you'll have a solid foundation in FPGA programming and design principles.
