Getting Started with Arty
https://www.electronics-lab.com/getting-started-with-arty/
by kaitlyn1franz @ instructables.com: Digilent recently released a new FPGA development board. The Arty board. The Arty is designed to be used exclusively with Xilinx Vivado, and designed specifically for use with microblaze. This tutorial covers how to use the out of he box design that ships loaded into Arty’s Quad-SPI Flash, with I/O and UART. […]
Water Cooled Silicon Chips are reality

Georgia Institute of Technology managed to cool FPGA trasistors using water, they announced: Using microfluidic passages cut directly into the backsides of production field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers are putting liquid cooling right where it’s needed the most – a few hundred microns away from where the transistors are operating.

circuitvalley.com has build a small FPGA board based on Xilinx XC3S250E : I have built a little FPGA board Xilinx xc3s250e called WireFrame. the board is only 500mm x 25 mm in size and it is possible to put it breadboard. board has 32MByte SDRAM, 4MByte serial Flash for storage. total 3 2A max each […]
Logic PCB Business Card

Floyd-Jones designed his own business card using logic circuitry. He writes: The card implements a digital finite-state machine which displays the next character of my last name on a 7-segment display each time the button is pressed. Luckily all 11 characters in my name can be reasonably shown, essentially spelling out FLoyd-JonES. I simulated the […]
Tutorial on the Design & Implementation of an FPGA RGB LED Matrix Driver
https://www.electronics-lab.com/tutorial-on-the-design-implementation-of-an-fpga-rgb-led-matrix-driver/
In this episode Shahriar and Timo demonstrate the design methodology of an FPGA based 32×32 RGB LED matrix driver. Timo has kindly devoted some of his time to describe the block diagram and the thought process which goes into designing this type of FPGA display driver. The various components of the overall system (PLL, UART, […]
DE1-SoC Development Board from Terasic
https://www.electronics-lab.com/de1-soc-development-board-from-terasic/
by Joel Bodenmann: The DE1-SoC board is populated with a six digit 7-segment display. All digits are connected to the FPGA. Therefore, in order to control the 7-segment display out of the Linux userspace code, one has to create a new component in QSys that is connected to the AMBA-AXI bus. But first of all, […]
