EE296 Working with FPGA

1
EE296Working with FPGAs.
(Field Programmable gate array)

• Team name Altezza
• Team members Richard Phomsouvanh (FPGA
  expert)
• Jason Leong
  (VHDL expert)

2
Overview of the Project

• Get familiar with FPGAs
• What is a FPGA?
• Implement I2C protocol using the FPGA
• What is the I2C Protocol?
• Further experiment with the capabilities of the
  FPGA.

3
What is a FPGA?

• Field Programmable Gate Array
• Device containing programmable logic components
  and programmable interconnects.
• FPGA is similar to a Programmable Logic Device.

4
Logic Devices

• Thousands of logic devices
• AND gates
• OR gates
• Flip Flops
• Mux
• Decoders

5
Software

• Quartus II Web Edition CAD system
• VHDL
• Verilog HDL
• Altera Hardware Description Language
• Nios II Embedded Processor
• C and C Programming

6
Plans for the Board

• EE260 Display
• LEDs, Toggle switches, Push-buttons, and 7-seg.
• Teaching Aid
• Another way to test out logic designs
• See visual outputs
• Less error
• In labs

12
Still not done

• Still need to perfect working with the FPGA
• Having all sorts of problems
• Finish up the rest of VHDL files
• Synthesize I2C on FPGA
• Try get the LCD display to work.
