How-to debug internal FPGA Logic with the $50 Openbench Logic Sniffer.
This tutorial shows how to use the $50 OpenBench Logic Sniffer to debug internal FPGA logic. Debugging internal FPGA logic can be pretty challenging and time consuming, a lot can be done using simulation but when you have logic that interacts with the outside world debugging can come to a grinding halt. The traditional solution…

Xilinx VHDL UART Example
Here is a three part screencast that provides an example of implementing a high speed 3Mb/s UART with the Papilio One board and the FT2232 USB chip. The project uses the free Xilinx VHDL UART example because it is optimized for Xilinx hardware, it provides the smallest and fastest UART possible. The source code…
