Join us, in congratulating the winners of the Summer of FPGA Design Challenge with Diglient's Cmod S7
This challenge has flexed everything our challengers have learned during the Summer of FPGA!
The winners will win the following prizes and anyone who hit the Finisher criteria will get the finisher prize.
Winners will be sent prizes to the address on their application and will be contacted by danzima

Hack CPUMOD S7 - Rebuilding a CPU in FPGA
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.
Runner Up
Liquid Level Monitoring with a Pressure Sensor
Using the FPGA to calibrate and monitor liquid level, great use of FPGA in Vivado, Blog were well written and they really showed all their math!
FPGA Security Camera - Finisher
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
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
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
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.
