It’s fairly easy to create VGA with an FPGA using a simple R/2R DAC. As [Mike] points out, this requires a lot of IO pins, and many development boards only support 8 bit VGA. Analog VGA is being ...

Over on GitHub, [ttsiodras] wanted to learn VHDL. So he started with an algorithm to do Mandelbrot sets and moved it to an FPGA. Because of the speed, he was able to accomplish real-time zooming. You ...

A common way to do an FPGA design is to create a project using your design tool. A project consists of a hierarchy of directories and many files. Creating a project, you have a nice GUI, wizards, and ...

FPGA design starts are on the rise due to the lower startup costs and re-programmability that FPGA devices can provide. However, large, complex FPGA devices pose significant challenges to an FPGA ...

Implementing a full Voodoo Graphics on an FPGA is a bigger task than it might seem due to the elegant complexity of the SST-1 architecture.

The MARS FPGA is an ambitious, open-source project designed to surpass the capabilities of existing FPGA-based retro gaming systems, particularly the MiSTer FPGA. This powerhouse development board ...

Voodoo graphics accelerators are likely to remain a key part of retro modding projects and gaming ventures for years to come.

Soon to be launching via the Crowd Supply website are two new FPGA programming boards taking the form of the µLab Kiwi and Kiwi Lite. The project has launched as yet but you can jump over to the ...

As contributors and pioneers in the digital revolution, we are often so busy creating and innovating that we are compelled to focus on the trees, never mind the forest. But as we are all aware, the ...

Making informed decisions backed by good data is the key to success in highly competitive, robust markets such as FPGA design and verification. Helping our community in that endeavor is the motivation ...
