A two-day hands-on workshop FPGA programming.
Hardware: an Altera cyclone FPGA development kit such as Terasic de0 nano (http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=139&No=593) or Bemicro CV ( http://parts.arrow.com/item/detail/arrow-development-tools/bemicrocv#ypJJ). Other suggestions welcome.
Topics include:
Recap of basic logic design principles FPGA hardware architecture, logic blocks, look-up tables, memory and multipliers FPGA resource constraints: routing, logic blocks, IO limitations Hard & Soft IP and licensing Installing Quartus on a linux machine Design project workflow Basic (V)HDL Nios IIe system builder. Altera vs Xilinx vs Lattice vs .....
Requirements: Some understanding of logic circuitry design principles, a supported (Altera) FPGA development kit and access to a (linux) computer for running the Quartus software
Costs: Free as in free beer and free speech, but limited to the consumables that you bring yourself ;-)
Venue: Diedenoort, Wageningen
Date and supported development kits are tentative, and will be fixed at least 8 weeks before workshop. If necessary we can organize a group-buy.
