What is an FPGA

• A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components and programmable interconnects. The programmable logic components can be programmed to duplicate the functionality of basic logic gates such as AND, OR, XOR, NOT or more complex combinatorial functions such as decoders or simple math functions. In most FPGAs, these programmable logic components also include memory elements, which may be simple flip-flops or complete blocks of memory.

• A hierarchy of programmable interconnects allows the logic blocks of an FPGA to be interconnected as needed by the system designer. These logic blocks and interconnects can be programmed after the manufacturing process by the customer so that the FPGA can perform whatever logical function that is needed.

Why Help is Needed

• FPGA’s are horrendously complex (much more than computer software)– Many tools, coding systems, etc.– Analog (non-ideal) timing behavior– Many types of devices– Code synthesis/Place & Route are not

deterministic

• In short a design frequently– Is theoretically correct– Simulates OK– Fails in a real part

• ISE is the software used to make the project we are going to complete.

Design

Page 11: What is an FPGA A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components and programmable interconnects

How are FPGAs programs designed

• There are many different methodolgies for programming (or designing) with FPGAs– Hardware Descriptive Language (HDL)

• VHDL• Verilog

– Schematic Capture– C Code– EDK– System Generator

Page 12: What is an FPGA A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components and programmable interconnects

HDLs: VHDL and Verilog

• Hardware Descriptive Languages are ways of describing digital logic. They are not a programming language, they are languages for describing hardware and are the most popular mechanisms for creating FPGA projects– VHDL – VHSIC Hardware Descriptive Language– Verilog

• Which is best?

Schematic Capture

• Could be used– Difficult decission– Not normally used at commercial or university

level for FPGA design

VHDL Code

Forest Level ViewThe title of the article is "Analysis of the programmable logic usage and assurace survey results“ revision 10.1, sept 25,2002Glenn research center, Cleveland, Ohio.

Quote:It is a serious mistake to equate VHDL programming to software. At best it is firmware, but for the most part there isn't a good name for programming FPGA logic. In a high performance design like ours, the minute you forget that you are designing hardware and think you are writing software, you fail.

Synthesis

Synthesis is the process of combining all the different design files together into a single file

XST is a Xilinx tool that synthesizes HDL designs to create Xilinx specific netlist files called NGC files. The NGC file is a netlist that contains both logical design data and constraints that takes the place of both EDIF and NCF files.

There are other 3rd party synthesis engines that are very good but not necessary now

Place and Route

• P&R is the process of translating the netlist into physical gates on the chip

• This is where you care about the specific chip you will be using and you will see the introduction of the UCF.

• The UCF is a user constraint file that ties your projects inputs and outputs to actual pins on the chip.

PROGRAM

Page 25: What is an FPGA A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components and programmable interconnects

Program the Device

• The FPGA is volatile. There are several ways to program the board– Through the use of the JTAG cable directly– Use the JTAG cable to program memory on the

board and then boot load the FPGA from memory on power cycle

Page 26: What is an FPGA A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components and programmable interconnects

Simulations

• There are two simuators– ISE– Modelsim

• Simulations allow a way to validate your projects. Create modules, test them. Create system, test them.

Counter Simulation

Page 28: What is an FPGA A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components and programmable interconnects

Behavioral and Timing Simulation

• There are two main types of simulation that can be performed.

• Behavioral is done to verify the design makes sense – not concerned with specific device parameters

• Functional or timing simulation is performed after the device is mapped to a specific device.

Page 29: What is an FPGA A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components and programmable interconnects

Service Packs

• After software installation, download and install the service packs. Some could be 1-2G of update download.

• Will see the process when we do the simple project.

Page 30: What is an FPGA A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components and programmable interconnects

Default Locations for SW

• When you are setting up the software, regardless of whether it is at the lab or at home, only install the software at the default locations. This is infinitely more critical when you get to a graduate level where you are looking at multiple software packages.
