Description

This course is designed to immerse you in the world of hardware engineering. It will guide you through the process of converting requirements and needs into practical and efficient designs. You will explore a lot of concepts of digital circuits such as sequential processes, counters, clock dividers, finite state machines, and VHDL coding rules and syntax.

By the end of the course, you will have a comprehensive skill set to design, implement, and test digital systems.

To achieve all of the above, we will design a Tic-Tac-Toe Game in VHDL on FPGA. Using a VGA interface, the game will be displayed on an external monitor, allowing two players to interact and play directly via push buttons through the FPGA. This project is ideal for learning about VGA controllers, state machines, FPGA IO pins, and interfacing. Thanks to two push buttons, the players can navigate through the cells of the game displayed on screen to move forward or backwards in the grid. Then, each player has a dedicated push button to validate his choice.

By the end of the course, students will have the practical skills and experience required to design, implement, and verify their own fully functional Tic-Tac-Toe game on an FPGA. This project provides a strong foundation for further FPGA and digital design ventures.
