Last time, I recommended several cheap and good Xilinx or Altera FPGA boards for beginners or students. These FPGA boards are not only very affordable for students, but also provides good onboard devices such as LEDs, switches, buttons, 7-segment display, VGA, UART port, etc for beginners to practice many different basic projects.
Today, I present my recommended FPGA course for beginners and students to learn VHDL design on FPGA. The FPGA course has over 3,890 students and 430 good reviews.
This FPGA tutorial will guide you how to control the 4-digit seven-segment display on Basys 3 FPGA Board. A display controller will be designed in Verilog for displaying numbers on the 4-digit 7-segment LED display of the Basys 3 FPGA. Full Verilog code for the seven-segment LED display controller will also be provided.
The Basys 3 FPGA has a common-anode 4-digit 7-segment LED display as shown in the following figure.
Last time, I presented a Verilog code together with Testbench for Sequence Detector using FSM. The sequence being detected was "1011".
This VHDL project presents a full VHDL code for Moore FSM Sequence Detector. A VHDL Testbench is also provided for simulation. The sequence to be detected is "1001".
