FPGA Simple UART Eric Bainville - Apr 2013 Introduction Curious about how the hardware I use (i.e. Fight with) every day is designed, I decided to acquire a FPGA board and start programming it in VHDL. The long term objective is to design some kind of basic OpenCL compute device.

This board is based on a Xilinx Spartan-6 LX45 FPGA, and provides a lot of features, including HDMI, audio, USB, Ethernet, and 128MB of RAM. Daft Punk Alive 2007 Deluxe Edition. To use the board, you will need to download a few files: • Xilinx (more than 6 GB), • Digilent Adept software, manuals, and demos from their, • Exar. The board comes with a preloaded demo displaying some basic color patterns, and controlling the audio and LEDs from the various switches and push buttons.

This demo can be downloaded from Digilent site in source and binary form. The binary can then be re-programmed later into the board. Next step is to run the Xilinx ISE Design Suite, and start writing some code. Mike Field's site provides an excellent FPGA course, and a large number of sample projects. I started following the different modules of the online course, which got me up and running in no time.

I am working on a project where I send serial data from my PC to an FPGA which samples it, captures it and puts it in an external memory. Transmitter - a model that mimics sending 8 bits of RS 232 data at 9600. The behavioral receiver (and transmitter) were on the conference page 16.

There are already plenty of more complete/efficient/flexible/tested UART designs on the Internet. If you are an FPGA expert and ended up reading this, please drop me a line if you see something really wrong. Contents • - How the data is serialized.

• - Reception process. • - Transmission process. • - A simple test: echo back all received characters. Downloads This archive contains the two entities described in this page, and the corresponding user constraints file for the Atlys board.
