Learning by Example Using VHDL - Advanced Digital Design
With a NEXYS2 FPGA Board

Richard E. Haskell and Darrin M. Hanna
Release Date:
August 2008

This book assumes knowledge of digital design using VHDL that you can acquire from the book Learning By Example Using VHDL – Basic Digital Design With a BASYS FPGA board described above.  We show you how to design advanced digital circuits using VHDL and implement them on a Xilinx Spartan3E FPGA on the NEXYS2™ board that can be purchased from Digilent, Inc.  More than 40 examples are included in the book that display graphics and photos on a VGA screen using sprites stored in block RAM within the FPGA and video data stored in external RAM on the NEXYS2 board.  Other examples design a UART to send and receive data through the serial port, design a keyboard and mouse driver using the PS/2 port, and store video data in the external flash memory.
