Explore practical fpga project design by learning to build and simulate real-world applications, from basic logic to usb communication and sha-256 encryption, using free simulation tools and system-on-chip cores.
Discover the fundamentals of uart, including rs-232, baud rate, parity, start/stop bits, data bits, and duplex modes, and learn how to configure simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex communication.
Access the downloadables to see the transmitter and receiver logic in action, using the provided software and a code editor to follow along with the uart design.
Explore simplex and duplex transmitter and receiver configurations, including the transceiver, and examine how clock, set, select signals, and signal tones govern transmission in a UART design.
Explore the UART transmitter and receiver simulation, controlling transmission with clock, enable signals, and board select speed settings, then observe serial data flow and error indicators.
Explore the receiver top design, detailing the receiver and word generator, the transmitter, and how the board generator provides a clock for synchronization and oversampling.
Explore the main receiver subcircuit of a UART design, detailing a four-stage finite state machine, data reception of 18 bits, and parity-based error detection.
Examine baud rate generation for UART using clock division, oversampling by sixteen, and mid-point sampling to reduce timing errors, with a focus on a VCL implementation.
Explore the transmitter in this simulation, wiring the clock signals, observing data transmission and reset effects, and examine how boundary conditions and security considerations influence transmission performance.
Explore how a transmitter operates through a four-stage finite state machine, using signals and a comparator to manage data transmission of 19 bits and stop or restart cycles.
Examine the main transmitter subcircuit, including Fiesta standard libraries and state-driven data transmission with parity, end-of-transmission signaling, and related error-detection concepts.
This is a practical course, that will teach you how to design your first project on FPGA [UART - universal asynchronous transmitter and receiver.]
It explains how the vdhl code was designed. and will teach you how it was simulated , and how to trace the signals for debugging using Logism.
The course is divided into three sections: the receiver, the baud generator and transmitter.
This a 12 video course. each module teaching about a particular part of the design.
a lot of visuals, arrows, pictures were used to make the tutorials easy to understand.
kindly use the logism circuit file while watching the tutorial for easy understanding.
if my english is too fast please use the subtitle files attached.
You will design a uart transmitter and receiver . You will be able to design a transceiver by the end of the course. You will get the VHDL scripts and the logism circuit. subsequent courses will teach other serial communication protocols spi, i2c , encryption algorithm includng aes, sha256, RSA, ECDSA. Basic knowledge of vdhl is required.
View upcoming projects at projectfpga.
While on the course please download the attached files, and check links for downloads. they include logism circuit files, vhdl script. etc.
No hardware is required just your pc.
It was kept brief and straight to the point.
