Spartan 3 Starter Kit Example

Started by Thorsten Kiefer March 18, 2010
Hi,
I wrote a small example for the Digilent Spartan 3 Starter Kit.
It uses the sram to store graphics data.
Actually basing on this module I wanted to code a fractal generator.
Here is the link, maybe someone finds it useful :

The last test is a rather long time ago.

Best Regards
Thorsten

Why would anybody find this useful? You only provide a bit file for one particular prototype board. I would add the code or at least add some comments on the lessons learned writing for this board. Hans www.ht-lab.com

Right it's not too useful. I'll provide the code I coded myself. But I cannot provide the source code, that I took from the book. Thanks for the comment ! Thorsten

I added 2 files of source now. Is it more useful now ? Thorsten

Much better, however, there shouldn't be a problem listing the code from an educational book provided you acknowledge/credit the author. Hans www.ht-lab.com

I contacted the author. He says that the copyright is owned by the publisher, not by himself. And the publisher denies publishing that code. Regards Thorsten

Do you think you could maybe mention what book and where in it the missing code can be found? You should include the UCF file too.
