Decided to expand on my last project:
dfcSDR
Problem of the moment:
Figure out how to use Aurora.
============================================================
Ordered this board from Amazon:
AX7A200
It's similar to the board I used in the last pro...
This blog will document my effort to make an SDR receiver using an Artix-7 FPGA reading multiple ADCs and sending the raw 16 bit samples over PCIe.
Problem of the moment:
Too many projects ... not enough time!
=======================================...
The last blog covered the generation of background tiles. This time around we'll look at another facet of retro graphics. This one in my opinion is much more exciting:
Hardware Sprites!

Hello there,
I just posted a video on YouTube about Polyphase filters. You can check it out here:

Cheers!
PS: looks like I forgot to post the 3rd episode, which is about Half-band FIRs. You can find it in the ...
1. Introduction
In this article, we will install PYNQ in Ubuntu 22.04 and then I will show you how to do a simple LED blinking using Python in PYNQ.
2. Installing PYNQ in KV260
The Xilinx/Kria-PYNQ is the main repository for everything related t...
1. Introduction
In the previous article, we looked at how we can upgrade the Kria SOM firmware to make it able to boot Ubuntu 22.04 (without the firmware, it can only boot Ubuntu 20.04). In this article, we will build on that and boot the OS. Bo...
1. Introduction
KV260 and KR260 firmware by default cannot boot the Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, an update to the firmware is necessary. In this article, I will show you how to update the firmware step by step.
I have the following setup.
Petalinux boot...

yepe has to resolve this problem for a project assignment:
Hi Jan Cumps, I hope you don't mind if I ask a question regarding the PYNQ half-bridge PWM driver. I am working on a student project for school and I need to drive a half-...

Hi,
I am Arun. I am a hardware Engineer with 8years experience in in IoT and RF schematic and pcb design. I am new in FPGA design. How can I start my career in FPGA based design? Kindly advice the initial steps.
Introduction
This is still work in progress - I've only reached the simulation phase and haven't tried it on a device yet - but I thought it might be of some interest.
Back when I did my 'Making Waves' blogs [1], I implemented a fast, unrolled, pipel...
Introduction
In the previous blog, FPGA ADSR envelope generator for sound synthesis , we discussed ADSR envelope generators. The data input to the ADSR module was hardcoded. It would be nice to be able to enter the step increments wit...
ADSR envelope generator for sound synthesis.
In the previous blog we implemented a Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis module (DDFS ) that can generate an unmodulated audio-frequency tone. In this blog we will implement an ADSR (attack-decay...
DDFS - Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis
DDFS is a digitally-controlled method of generating multiple frequencies from a reference frequency source. DDFS is a method of producing a tunable digital or analog waveform. First the data points of the wav...
PCB Assembly
Within a couple of weeks of placing my order the boards arrive. I am a sucker for the white solder mask. It has a shine not unlike the keys of a piano and I like the way it contrasts with the black silkscreen.
I am not well ...
Decided to recreate the process of going from a vendor provided reference design to a first version of my project. I've literally gone thru more than a dozen iterations of this process to gain the knowledge of how to do it properly.
The vendor's refe...

In the above screen grab I chose the COMPLETE set of files. It's huge, but was worth it considering how many attempts it took to finish a clean installation! Doing a complete installation also seems to eliminate some is...
I just posted this blog in my personal blog, which on reflection might not have been the best place.
So here's a link to it.

Patiently Waiting for the PCBs
In these high-inflation times I try to be frugal where I can. I've ordered boards from China in the past and while the PCB prices themselves are very affordable the $20 or so for express shipping isn't nec...
Dear friend,
I am a new master's student, I need help with my master's project. I have a Digilent Arty - Artix-7 board. what kind of project I can research for 2 years?
Introduction
One of the advantages of membership in the Element14 community is the opportunity to evaluate brand new products and technologies. Back in 2021 during the summer of FPGAs I was lucky enough to be selected to road test the Oran...
