Has anyone had any experience of using these : http://www.robotshop.com/uk/cmod-a7-35t-breadboardable-artix-7-fpga-module.ht ml?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkqXI9rje1gIVxZkbCh2l_AkhEAEYASAAEgLo_PD_BwE They aren't in stock yet but maybe some have been shipped. I'm looking for comments on them for use with novice FPGA users. Anything you have to say may be helpful as I'm looking to buy a few of them....

Hello, after being bitten by windrvr once again (it did not compile after a kernel upgrade), I decided to see if I could get the Xilinx USB cable and impact working without a kernel module. To achieve this, I have written a wrapper library for impact which maps calls to windrvr to the userspace libusb-library which should be available on all modern linux distributions. With this wrapper I...

http://www.fpga4fun.com/MusicBox1.html The frequency is 440Hz, as expected, but the output duty cycle is not 50% anymore. The low level goes from counter=0 to counter=32767 (when bit 15 of counter is low) and then high level from 32768 to 56817. That gives us "speaker" being high only 42% of the time. The easiest way to get a 50% duty cycle is to add a stage that divides the out

Could anyone give general comments on https://github.com/promach/internal_logic_analyzer/tree/development/rtl ? Is my coding approach too software-centric ?

Has anyone used the Microsemi SOCs, the SmartFusion2 FPGAs with an ARM Cortex M3 on chip? How good/awful is the tool set? Any big likes or dislikes? They look like a pretty good deal for a medium FPGA with ARM. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics

Hi! During the discussion about "Test Driven Design?" I promised to write a paper about Non-Project Mode and how it helps with testing. The problem is that I have never written any article. Moreover, English is not my native language. I kindly ask you to review the article and help me to improve it. It is in Google docs and leaving comments right in the document is allowed. You also can comment...

Hi, OK, left the lora chips asside for a while, so .. now back to FPGAs. I have two olimex ice40 boards where I would like to use the onboard SRAM. The RAM chip is a samsung K5R4016V1B-10 (256K words * 16 bits). The datasheets are here: https://www.olimex.com/Products/_resources/ds_k6r4016v1d_rev40.pdf The most important pages are page 7 (for "read"), pages 8 and 9 (for "write") a...

We're starting a new design, and I again find myself tempted by the Microsemi SmartFusion2 as combination FPGA/uC. It's got a built-in ARM Cortex-M3, which is a simple dinky micro instead of some big honking A8 application processor that you can't even get up and running without kilobytes of boot code. The smallest, cheapest one is about $15 in small quantity with 64 kB of data memory ...
