I just discovered that AMD have decided to support the Spartan6 range for a good few years more.
This is good news for quite a few I should think since the previous line that everyone should move to the Spartan 7 was not universally popular.
The announcement…
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.
In the previous blog post , we built a HDMI source (output) controller inside our Spartan-7 FPGA and configured it using the Microblaze processor.
In this post we will add a physical HDMI output to our board, since the Arty-S7 does not have a HDMI output…
In this blog post, we will add HDMI video output to our Arty S7. We will build upon the basic microblaze system that we constructed in the previous blog post.
The first thing you might be wondering is how to get a physical HDMI output from the Arty…
I was wondering if I could somehow do some crypto mining on my Arty S7-50 board. I know that it might not be much profitable. ASICs are better for this job. But I want to try it just for education purposes.
What does the members think? Will it be profitable…

Hello everyone. Today it is deadline of 7 Ways to Leave Your Spartan-6 FPGA . Today I completed quiz (with one mistake made) and post blog post about my project. My performance in this competition is not as good as I originally expected. It was mainly…
Hello everyone. I welcome you to this blog post describing my project as part of 7 Ways to Leave Your Spartan-6 FPGA contest.
In this blog post I will describe my core project as part of this competition. As part of this competition I originally promised…
FPGA was a completely new thing to me before participating in this program. I learned a lot of things while writing blogs for this program. The list of all the blogs is given below:
Spartan-6 VS Spartan-7 (Comparison)
Getting Started with Arty S7…
Introduction: In my project , I am sending the blurred image to my PC over uartlite. I had to put some delay (50 us) between sending consecutive data packets. Due to the large size of the image, it takes around 8-9 mins to transfer the image. Maybe reducing…
Introduction: In my previous blog , I learned how to use the XADC block in my design. I am thinking of using the XADC alongwith the IR sensor that I used in that blog in my Image Processing project . I will use this IR sensor to toggle between various…
Introduction
As part of the 7 Ways to Leave Your Spartan-6 FPGA roadtest , I have been exploring sensors that can be connected to the Arty-S7 for audio applications. For the current project, I am focussing on the following sensors
Pmod I2S2 - Used…
In this post we describe how to build a l ow resolution thermal imaging camera with VGA output. The solution is based on the Melexis MLX90640 IR Array , the Digilent's PmodVGA module, and the AMD-Xilinx Spartan-7 FPGA of the Digilent Arty S7 50 board…
In my last two blogs, I talked only about VHDL codes and the implementation of digital logic design in Vivado. In this blog, I will be working on the hardware aspects.
I received the Arty-S7 board from e14 for the Spartan_Migration challenge. I will…
In my last blog on FPGAs, as a part of the 7 ways to Leave your Spartan-6 contest, I published an introductory blog on getting started with FPGAs and VHDL.
In the 2nd blog, I will discuss digital logic design using FPGAs. Here, I will cover the following…
Introduction: The Arty S7 board comes with an on board ADC. The XADC core within the Spartan-7 is a dual channel 12-bit analog-to-digital converter capable of operating at 1 MSPS. The analog pins can be used to read analog values. I have a IR sensor which…
Introduction: After learning about various things that can be done on Arty S7-50, I think I am now ready to put all my learnings together in one project. In this blog, I will try to implement a basic image processing algorithm (blurring an image) on the…
Well, my challenging week is continuing. I'm not sure whether it is bad luck, faulty hardware, or just unfortunate coincidences.
I decided to take a look at the problem that I was having with the external inputs to the XADC last night. After some quick…
I have been trying to implement an image processing algorithm (blurring an image) on my MicroBlaze based design. My block design is shown below:
And here is my code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sleep.h>
#include <xil_types.h>
#include <xparameters…
Introduction:
Greetings everyone!
Over the next few days I will be posting blogs describing my project entry for the 7 Ways to leave your Spartan-6 challenge.
So what is my project? It is a Mandelbrot set "explorer" built around the Arty S7 FPGA…
This week has been a very challenging one to be sure...
I ended last week with a problem with the primary external hard drive that contains the Ubuntu Virtual Machines that I use for Xilinx development tools. I was intermittently getting files missing…
From my previous post, We had addressed the hardware issue, installed Vivado 2019.2, and executed the demo program. We will interface with the IR sensors and will be discussing the Logical Implementation in this blog.
