Design Compendium VHDL for AMD Xilinx devices

SO_FPGA_BASIC

Course Description

"Basic FPGA Tutorial" is a document made for beginners who are entering the FPGA world. This tutorial explains, step by step, the procedure of designing a simple digital system using VHDL language and AMD Xilinx Vivado Design Suite.

In the "Basic FPGA Tutorial", a PWM signal modulated using the sine wave with two different frequencies (1 Hz and 3.5Hz) will be created. Frequency that will be chosen depends on the position of the two-state on-board switch.

Training Duration

5 days

Purpose of this Tutorial

This tutorial is made to introduce you how to create, simulate and test an project and run it on your development board.

The following project is designed for:

  • Synthesize and implement the design in the Vivado IDE
  • Simulate a design using integrated Vivado Simulator
  • Run your design on the target development board
  • Debug a design in hardware using Vivado Logic Analyzer,
  • Designing with IPs

Structure of this Tutorial

  • Chapter 1: "Introduction" - In this chapter you will find what is the purpose of this tutorial, expla- nation what is the PWM signal, block diagram of one possible solution for the modulator design and a lot of basic information about the Vivado Design Suite.
  • Chapter 2: "Selector" - In this chapter you will find all the necessary information about how to create a new project in the Vivado IDE, how to create SElector module as constituent part of the Modulator design, how to generate its test bench file and how to simulate it with the integrated Vivado simulator.
  • Chapter 3: "Counter" - This chapter explains how to create Counter module, how to create its test bench file and how to simulate it with Vivado simulator.
  • Chapter 4: "Sine Package" - This chapter holds the information how to create Sine package as one universal package that will be used in almost all modules of the Modulator design.
  • Chapter 5: "Digital Sine" - This chapter explains how to create Digital Sine module, how to create its test bench file and how to simulate it with Vivado simulator.
  • Chapter 6: "PWM" - This chapter explains how to create PWM module. This module will generate an PWM signal modulated using the digital sine wave from the Digital Sine module. In this chapter you will find how to create its FSM state diagram, its test bench file and how to simulate it with Vivado simulator.
  • Chapter 7: "Modulator" - This chapter includes all the necessary information about the Modulator module, as the top module of our design. In this chapter you will find information how to create Modulator module and its test bench file and how to simulate it with Vivado simulator. Additionally, this chapter holds information about the Vivado synthesis process.
  • Chapter 8: "Modulator Sozius Wrapper" - This chapter includes all the necessary information about the Modulator Sozius Wrapper module. This module will be used to target Sozius development board. Considering that the main component of the Sozius development board is Zynq-7000 AP SoC, in this chapter you will find all the necessary information how to use PS and PL parts of the Zynq-7000 AP SoC system for the purpose of our project.
  • Chapter 9: "Design Implementation" - This is a large chapter and includes all the information about the design implementation process steps. In this chapter you will learn how to create XDC file, how to implement your design, how to generate bitstream file and how to program your device. Here you will also find information about the necessary modifications in case of using different development boards.
  • Chapter 10: "Debugging Design" - This chapter explains the process of debugging design. In this chapter you will find the information how to instantiate ILA and VIO cores into the design and how to debug your design using integrated Vivado Logic Anayzer.
  • Chapter 11: "Debugging with IPs" - This chapter explains how you can create Modulator design using your own IPs, with the help of the Vivado IP Packager and IP Integrator tools, how you can debug IP integrated designs and how you can create new Modulator IP core with AXI4 interface in it.
  • Chapter 12: "Working with Partial Reconfiguration Flow" - This chapter explains how you can work with Partial Reconfiguration Flow, which allows reconfiguration of modules within an active design.
