At the Large Scale Integrated Circuits laboratory meetings, we learned to program an FPGA board by writing Verilog code. The trainer board was a Digilent Nexys 2.
After uploading the generated programming file, the board will start the counter and display the seconds passed:
- in binary with the 8 LEDs
- in hexadecimal on the 4-digit seven-segment display
The user has 3 controls available:
- Start - first switch (R17)
- Stop - second switch (N17)
- Pause - third switch (L13)
To send a control signal - toggle the switch on and back off. (use them as push buttons)
