  • MULTICOMP Z80 CP/M migrated to the Papilio Duo Platform!

      Hello Papilio fans today we got an awesome project to share with you! Our forum member jlcollado has managed to migrate the Grant Searle’s brillant work called MULTICOMP to the Papilio DUO, the final result is a very usable and complete Z80 soft-core based machine, running the venerable Digital Research CP/M 2.2 OS. I’ve built the Z80 CP/M variant, complete with VGA & Keyboard…

  • How to Build an Arcade Obstacle Avoidance Game Using FPGA

    Hello FPGA innovators! Remember the arcade obstacle avoidance game where blocks of pixels fall on you and you steer clear of them moving left or right? Today’s project attempts to re engineer the same game using a VGA and FPGA. Here, a pseudo random code is used to generate obstacles that fall down and buttons…

  • How to Create a Visual Audio Spectrum with a FPGA in 5 Steps

      Hello FPGA lovers! Today’s post is an interesting one which helps us visualize the audio spectrum with the help of your FPGA and an LED strip. Using a VGA cable, the spectrum can be visualised in a computer monitor as well. The microphone on the FPGA used (you may need to adapt this to…

  • Process VGA without Frame Buffers using FPGA

    Hello explorers of the FPGA Kingdom! Today’s project digs into the scope of FPGA as a tool that can replace conventional techniques further. VGA or video processing through conventional means requires a frame buffer which stores a block of data regarding pixel information in the system RAM for video display which is transferred to the…

  • Stuff A Lot Of Brute Power On Your FPGA To Crack A MD5 Password

    In today´s article we present a project developed by students of the University of Illinois. This guy and his partner used the parallel power of the FPGA to create a hardware system which basically consisted of 16 MD5 cracking units-which were able to produce more than 700 million hashes per minute-, a keyboard control system…
