Technical requirements
The technical requirements for this chapter are the same as those for Chapter 1, Introduction to FPGA Architectures and Xilinx Vivado.
To follow along with the examples and the project, you can find the code files for this chapter at the following repository on GitHub: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-FPGA-Programming/tree/master/CH10.
If you want to implement the project on the board, you'll require a VGA-capable monitor, cable, and USB keyboard.
Important note
The Nexys A7 supports a USB keyboard capable of supporting PS/2 BIOS modes. While writing this chapter, I was only able to find one older keyboard that worked 100%. This is a limitation of the Digilent board as the PIC source code for interfacing the USB to PS/2 is closed source. If you can't find a compatible keyboard or don't want to buy one, you can still view the PS/2 output in the Integrate Logic Analyzer (ILA). Here is one keyboard that is known to work: https...
