If you've already tinkered a bit with Arduino or Raspberry Pi, and
you want to get more hands-on with hardware, or even if you're
completely new to electronics and you just want to dive in, then
Beginning FPGA is the book you need. You don't need an electronics
engineering degree or even any programming experience to get the
most out of Beginning FPGA. Just bring your curiosity and your
FPGA. In this book, you'll be using the MicroNova Mercury, a very
affordable and breadboard-friendly FPGA development board. FPGA
stands for Field-Programmable Gate Array. It's an integrated
circuit waiting for you to tell it what to become. Unlike a
microcontroller board like the Arduino, you don't really program an
FPGA and tell it what to do; instead you use a hardware description
language to tell it what to be. And what can it be? It can be just
about anything you can imagine In this book you'll use it to create
a pressure sensor, an air quality sensor, and just for fun, the
KITT car display from Knight Rider (or Cylon eyes if you prefer to
think of it that way). You'll also learn how to make your FPGA talk
to a Raspberry Pi.Along the way, you'll learn the theory behind
FPGAs and electronics, including the math and logic you need to
understand what's happening - all explained in a fun, friendly, and
accessible way. It also doesn't hurt that you'll be learning VHDL,
a hardware description languae that is also an extremely marketable
skill. What you'll learn * What an FPGA is and how it's different
from a microcontroller or ASIC * How to set up your toolchain * How
to use VHDL, a popular hardware description language, to tell your
FPGA what to be * Theory behind FPGA and electronics * How to use
your FPGA with a variety of sensors * How to use your FPGA to talk
to a Raspberry Pi Who this book is for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and
other electronics enthusiasts who want a clear and practical
introduction to FPGA. No experience necessary.
