What you will learn

I want to show you how to program 15 digital circuits into an FPGA trainer board using the Xilinx ISE software tool. Each lesson starts by explaining how the logic works in one of the digital circuits. In this course, the programming code for the circuit, in the fpga, will be described with Vhdl programming code. The programming code for each of the 15 circuits, are converted to a bit file and the bit file programs the circuit into an fpga trainer board. The trainer board is now ready to test the circuit. Step by step procedures will show you exactly how to do this course. Learning how to program an FPGA is just like learning how to drive a car. You can read all about driving a car, but until you get behind the wheel and try it for yourself you won't be able to do it. If you view this entire course and complete everything in it, you will have the knowledge to be able program an FPGA by yourself.

You will learn how to describe a circuit using Vhdl code

15 circuits of Vhdl programming code have already been written for this course.

Why take this course?


This 3 ½ hour video course is divided into sections showing 16 hardware code routines. To see the routines working, you will need a $30.00 fpga trainer board. The last lesson in  this course will show you where to buy the trainer board. You will also need to download a free software tool called the -Xilinx ISE- so you can write and test hardware code routines on your computer.

If you take the hardware code for a digital circuit part and program it into an fpga, the hardware code will configure the circuit into the fpga. The best thing about an fpga is, a whole circuit board full of digital parts can be programmed into one fpga. This technology is very important and I want to show you how it is done. Reading a book is not the easiest way to learn how to program an fpga. A better way is to view step by step explanation videos. Digital circuit boards today using an fpga are less expensive, contain fewer parts, and the design process takes less time.

Because hardware coding is different than conventional programming, examining working code routines is a better way to learn how to program an fpga. I have put together 16 different hardware code routines. Each routine is explained in a video lesson. Because hardware code routines can be very difficult to understand, each routine is explained by me in detail. After explaining the code, you will see a video of me testing the code on the fpga trainer board. Your computer's usb plug and cable sends the programming code to the fpga trainer board.

It is a long process to learn how to program an fpga, but your effort will be rewarded if you stick with the course. When you end this course you will be one of the very few who know how to program an fpga.

If you have any trouble understanding this course, or you have trouble downloading the -Xilinx ISE- or anything else, I will be glad to help you. I learned a lot making this course, I think you will too.

A good course for beginners, but the examples are repetitive, if you are searching a course that introduce you to VHDL world, this is a good course, but don't expect big changes in the examples.

Lecture videos are very dry; just reading off texts from the computer. It would be better to do it in a show and tell manner without over relying on notes already written. It is really difficult to get one interested in FPGA programming this way. One could just simply go out and read a text or refer to a manual, or better yet, watch some of the many YouTube vids out there that really show the audiences what the board is doing and how it is interacting with the HDLs written.

dry, not very informative, the instructor takes standard functions and reads it poorly. Follow my mouse, code is already loaded... Absolute waste of time and money. No engaging, cookie cutter, here is schematic, here is loaded code and here is me reading aloud.
