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.

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

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.

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.

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.

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.
