Hack CPUMOD S7 - Rebuilding a CPU in FPGA

 pandoramc

This project is an amazing example of rebuilding a working CPU inside an FPGA, the project is well made, the blogs are well written and honestly blew our minds a little.

This project uses the CMOD S7 FPGA board to interface the OV7670 camera and save the image data to SD card. This security camera can be triggered either by movements, loud sounds, fire, or by manually pushing the button.

Security Hardware Accelerator - Finisher

Security Hardware Accelerator uses FPGA to encode signals from host hardware and return encryption codes back. 
Great FPGA usage and very detailed blogs

LiFi: The Sequence Detector - Finisher

kluivertcorreia

LiFi: The Sequence Detector. I plan on using a sequence detector in unwrapping a framed packet, by detecting the start or end bytes or any sort of command byte. In this blog I will be implementing a 4-bit sequence detector to simplify the process of the creating the state diagram. Judges loved how Very Detailed the blogs are with lots of theory.

FPGA Audio Synthesis -  Finisher

a33333

This project is the creation of a test bench and a collection of Verilog modules for a FPGA-based, musical synthesizer that uses subtractive synthesis for sound generation hardware and return encryption codes back. 
Arduino for Implementation and CMOD S7 for Synthesis. Project is also public on GitHub

FPGA ANPR - Numberplate recognition. -  Finisher

taifur

This is a automatic number plate reading platform using just the Cmod S7 and a camera. 

This project is especially exciting as Taifur is new to FPGAs and made great use of publicly avalible libraries and research.
