Digital Circuit Design in FPGA with SVGA interface

[geowilky]

Hi,

I am a contestant of digilent contest, and I need a feedback for my project. The project name is "Real Time Digital Circuit Design tool in FPGA with VGA interface"

Short description:

This project implements a digital circuit design tool, as the name says, in FPGA. The FPGA board is connected directly on a monitor and a mouse. The user should use this project to create a digital schematic, and he could check the output signals on a logic analyzer which is included in the project.

Here we have two working modes: directly mode, using a mouse which is connected directly on FPGA board, and second mode, using PC. In second mode, user should use Xilinx ISE to create a schematic, and after executing a command, some data are transferred to FPGA via RS232 communication and the schematic is created automatically.

FPGA part is implemented in VHDL and in second mode, the data prom Xilinx ISE schematic is processed with Visual Basic Script.

You can watch on a example movie on the following link:

 

Thank you!

Wow, this looks nice.

 

Are those images generated by a PC or by an FPGA ?

[geowilky]

Those images are generated by FPGA. I implement a VGA component in FPGA and all that you can see on that monitor are displayed with that component.

Interesting.

 

Can we help you in any way ? I assume the contest is still on-going.

 

Will you publish your design as open-source once the contest ends ?

[geowilky]

I don't need help. 

Once the contest ends this will be as open-source

Wow! That is really impressive, I don't know what other types of projects get submitted to the contest but you've got to be a top runner to win it...

 

Let us know if there is anything we can do to support your contest entry. 

 

And when the contest is over I would very much like to get this project working on the Papilio.

 

Jack.

Hi again. Finaly the contest is finished. I get 3rd prize. The teams which get first and second place has projects which was developed by another chips, not on the FPGA. 

 

Thanks for your interes and you can get the sources from digilent contest website:

My project is first.
