With no class requiring it and no board experience going in, one engineering student designed a five-stage pipelined MIPS processor from scratch in VHDL and ran it on a Digilent …
This Mandelbrot set renderer was created by Conrad, who shared the project on GitHub (username conradSZY05). Built for the Digilent Basys 3, the design uses VHDL and Xilinx Vivado to …
Engineering education evolves quickly, but some fundamentals never go out of style. Field‑Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been a training ground for generations of engineers because they teach students how …
Ready to put your digital logic knowledge to the test? We’re excited to share a project that brings fundamental concepts like state machines and counters to life using the popular …
At Digilent, we believe in the power of community. Our forums are a hub where users come together to share knowledge, ask questions, and find solutions to their design challenges. …
A classic interaction between a new FPGA user and an embattled older engineer (whether on our Forums or elsewhere) goes as follows: New engineer: My design doesn’t work, could you …
Step-by-Step Guide to Building an Arch Linux-Based Project This paper will provide a step-by-step guide to build from ground up a Genesys ZU development board-based hardware and software project that …
How You Can Add Buttons to Vivado These step-by-step instructions will add a button to the Vivado application that changes the working directory of the TCL console to the directory …
How to Fix Board Connection Errors in Vivado and EEPROM It can be very frustrating to purchase a new board and run into a road block when testing out your …
Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite made its debut in 2012 as an integrated design environment for embedded development. More recently, the semiconductor company released its Vitis platform, which subsequently also includes …
When your fresh-faced recruits are green and bright-eyed in the early days of the academic year, the last thing you’ll want to do is spend extensive amounts of time connecting, …
Quinn profiles some Zybo-powered video games… built in just 3 weeks!
At OTH Regensburg, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heiko Unold has spent years finding new ways to connect engineering theory with hands-on experimentation. By integrating the Analog Discovery platform across multiple courses, he …
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are digital devices. They can’t read a voltage directly. To bring an analog signal into an FPGA, you need an ADC, short for analog-to-digital converter. You …
UMN Students Build a Rubidium Magneto-Optical Trap POSM students are gaining hands-on experience in optics, electronics, and precision measurement while building infrastructure for advanced photonics research. Building a rubidium magneto-optical …
With no class requiring it and no board experience going in, one engineering student designed a five-stage pipelined MIPS processor from scratch in VHDL and ran it on a Digilent …
