I’ve been working hard the past week on a DDR2 memory controller for the Xilinx starter kit, and refining my estimates for 3d Graphics Thingy’s memory bandwidth requirements. There’s been progress, but it feels like things are moving at a…
Everyone working on a video application using an FPGA seems to start with Pong, so why should I be any different? I put together this Pong demo as an exercise to help get more familiar with Verilog, and gain some…
I did some preliminary memory bandwidth calculations for 3D Graphics Thingy, based upon the discussion in the comments of the previous post, and the numbers aren’t encouraging. Even for the simplest possible case, I don’t think there will be enough…
I’ve spent the past few days getting familiar with my Xilinx Spartan 3A Starter Kit, and so far, it’s not going well. I’d thought I was pretty competent with the basics of digital electronics, and the concepts of HDL programming…
It’s a bittersweet day today. After 18 months of development, occupying the top of my desk and the majority of my spare time, BMOW 1 has been officially retired to the closet. I packed up the case, packed up the…
It’s done. Yes, it cost twice as much money and 100X as much time as just buying one from Adafruit or Sparkfun, but I’ve finished my home-made Uzebox. Notable features vs. the “stock” Uzebox: vertical mount mini-stereo jack for audio…
