I’ve been pretty active in launching this site. The early topics quite honestly take more time to write up than to develop. And I have quite a list of ideas for the introductory topics. This is just a quick note to share that FPGA Coding was recently added to the list of the Top 15 Field-programmable […]

If you are following the syntax highlighting topic you will know that I was not able to find a good syntax highlighter plugin for WordPress that supported Verilog. So I recently created my own and submitted it to WordPress.org. There was some back and forth with the reviewers around naming and trademark policies. But that

I am going to build an LED counter circuit. The LED counter uses the configurable counter circuit and the configurable shift register created earlier. Using those two components I will build a circuit that cycles through the LEDs. Recall from the configurable shift register post that we needed a way to slow down the shift

I expect to share many more Xilinx constraint files in the future. And that being the case, it seems to make sense to take the time to create a plugin for Xilinx Constraint files (XDC). Given what I learned through creation of the Verilog syntax highlighting WordPress plugin I have a strong foundation to build

In a previous post I designed a simple 4-bit counter circuit. The code for that circuit is shown below. That will be our starting point for today. For today I would like to modify the counter to make it a little more configurable. I want to add a new output signal that asserts when the

This is just a very quick update on syntax highlighting. I’ve updated the syntax highlighting plugin since the last post on the subject. The change allows the plugin to correctly interpret and handle sized numbers, and this site now uses the updated plugin. While I was updating the code, I decided to start the process

I will confess that I’ve been withholding some important information from you. I’ve touched upon the subject in several previous posts like the Verilog Introduction, or D-type Flip Flop. And if you’ve been trying to follow along using the source code from github you’ve surely caught me. I am surprised that no one has commented

Today I am back to building out a set of basic circuits that I can use in future projects. We already have a configurable counter circuit. Another useful component to have is a configurable shift register. A shift register is used in many situations, particularly for serial communications protocols like RS-232, USB, I2C and SPI.

If you have been following my blog, you may recall from the Verilog Introduction post that I was looking for a plugin that supported syntax highlighting. I intend to write a lot more Verilog code, and if all goes well, this code will become more involved. So I really would like to utilize syntax highlighting

This time I am going to design a simple counter circuit. This will build on concepts from the earlier sequential circuit design project. To keep this project simple this be only a 4-bit counter. We may want the ability to reset the counter, so in addition to the clk port I will define another input
