Key benefits

  • Explore different FPGA usage methods and the FPGA tool flow
  • Learn how to design, test, and implement hardware circuits using SystemVerilog
  • Build real-world FPGA projects such as a calculator and a keyboard using FPGA resources

Description

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have now become a core part of most modern electronic and computer systems. However, to implement your ideas in the real world, you need to get your head around the FPGA architecture, its toolset, and critical design considerations. FPGA Programming for Beginners will help you bring your ideas to life by guiding you through the entire process of programming FPGAs and designing hardware circuits using SystemVerilog. The book will introduce you to the FPGA and Xilinx architectures and show you how to work on your first project, which includes toggling an LED. You’ll then cover SystemVerilog RTL designs and their implementations. Next, you’ll get to grips with using the combinational Boolean logic design and work on several projects, such as creating a calculator and updating it using FPGA resources. Later, the book will take you through the advanced concepts of AXI and show you how to create a keyboard using PS/2. Finally, you’ll be able to consolidate all the projects in the book to create a unified output using a Video Graphics Array (VGA) controller that you’ll design. By the end of this SystemVerilog FPGA book, you’ll have learned how to work with FPGA systems and be able to design hardware circuits and boards using SystemVerilog programming.

Who is this book for?

This FPGA design book is for embedded system developers, engineers, and programmers who want to learn FPGA and SystemVerilog programming from scratch. FPGA designers looking to gain hands-on experience in working on real-world projects will also find this book useful.

What you will learn

  • Understand the FPGA architecture and its implementation
  • Get to grips with writing SystemVerilog RTL
  • Make FPGA projects using SystemVerilog programming
  • Work with computer math basics, parallelism, and pipelining
  • Explore the advanced topics of AXI and keyboard interfacing with PS/2
  • Discover how you can implement a VGA interface in your projects

I've been a software developer in various languages for over 30 years, but FPGA development is unlike software development at a fundamental level, and it has taken me quite a while to come to terms with the difference.
There are very few books on SystemVerilog that are aimed at a beginner to the subject, and even fewer that take the trouble to cover both the tooling used for development as well as the actual Verilog code needed for different logic function. The vast majority are aimed at electrical engineers with a good understanding of logic already, that want to transfer that knowledge to FPGA development.This book is different. It covers the basics of FPGA development including sequential logic, combinational logic and state machines along with more complex real world applications such as interfacing with external memory, integrating sensor data and generating VGA signals. It also covers how to use the various Xilinx IP's rather than reinventing the wheel for more complex functions and how to use AXI interfaces to communicate between different modules in a standardised way. It even covers maths operations and the unique features of SystemVerilog that are often overlooked in FPGA texts.This is an excellent introduction to a complex subject that I would recommend to anybody with an interest in the subject.

I highly recommend this book for beginner and intermediate verilog programmers and learners.I am a computer engineer by training, but have spent most of my career writing software. Recently I became more interested in building circuit boards, soldering, and filling in my hardware knowledge. A couple of years ago I came across the MiSTer FPGA project, and decided that I wanted to be able to learn verilog to help fix things and contribute new cores. For a software engineer, getting good at verilog can have a steep learning curve. Hardware is inherently parallel, and understanding the flow of verilog is different then traditional programming languages, even though the syntax is similar.FPGA Programming for Beginners is a great place to start, or improve your verilog skills. When you write your first design it is often a struggle to get it working. This book is very good at describing hands on, step by step how to simulate and debug the project on hardware. It will take you through the xilinx software and teach you how.As a beginner you often end up with a design that works intermittently. Either in simulation, but not on an FPGA board, or one one board, but not another. This book has practical tips and sections on how to catch many of the recurring problems in FPGA design.This book is not only filled with basics, but describes important details that are often "gotchas" when building real projects. For example, timing constraints are explained clearly and strategies to fix them are described. Also, the explanation of synchronizing data across clock domains was the first one I read that made sense to me. The state machine chapter taught me tricks to be able to debug state machines on the board much more easily. It also clearly described the different design patterns of state machines in verilog. Another chapter explains how to infer different kinds of ram on different FPGA boards.Overall this isn't a book that just describes verilog syntax. The book is filled with answers to real world problems and questions you would see in an interview for a job in the industry writing verilog.

As a professional programmer, the book was an excellent introduction into the world of digital logic design with FPGAs. It does well covering the basics and getting into deeper topics. I did some FPGA work in college and have taken a week long course or two during my career and this book, hands down, was more informative on the topic. Looking forward to learning more about FPGA and systemverilog in the future. Hopefully the author follows up with a book on more advanced topics. Would definitely recommend this book for beginners and even people intermediate skill levels.

This is not "Verilog for Dummies" or a $100 text book. Its a book by someone who knows a lot about the subject trying to help you understand it better. It got me (retired programmer looking for new thrills) past the initial hurdles of using the software on an actual board. The prose is not always clear and I have noted a few typos and general sloppiness (book calls it Project 1 but then you end up loading the example named project_2). The author tries to include useful techniques (e.g. parameters) in the midst of an example for combinational logic which would be very helpful if it didn't confuse me. Ignorance tends to make me creative at misunderstanding things. At this price point I think this book is a good value, but I'm going to buy the $100 text book and get a better grounding in Verilog before I return to it.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
