Here is an interesting FPGA course put together to help people learn the basics of writing Verilog. http://chiphack.org/ ChipHack aims to provide a gentle introduction to FPGA programming using the Verilog hardware description language (HDL) and is: a set of learning materials and workshop notes; and an event. No prior experience with HDLs and FPGA…

We ran across this post recently and thought we would share it in case anyone has any more information about this. Can it be ported to a Papilio board? RetroArch FPGA – cores are beginning to run!   Consider this project still in an experimental phase – but cores are already beginning to run! What…

Here is an interesting project that we somehow missed. It’s an FPGA based clone of the Dangerous Prototypes Bus Pirate. Looks cool, would love to get this running on the Papilio FPGA. A FPGA based design with a soft CPU and USB device interface implemented in Verilog. This design uses an OpenRISC compatible CPU (my…

In the last blog post we touched on the Amazon AWS FPGA resources that are available to build cloud services that are powered by FPGA’s. In doing further research we came across this nice blog post that goes into further detail about this FPGA offering by Amazon. It is unique in that you can write…
