In learning, nothing substitues for experience, and there's no better experience than compiling FPGA programs and watching them work. This book guides you along increasingly more complex VHDL programs with interactive, visible results when loaded on one of the development boards. Beginning with simply lighting LEDs, the projects advance until you are creating workable games using tbe board's buttons, switches, and displays. Source code for all projects are available online, along with code solutions to all exercises. The material assumes that you have purchased, or have access to, one of two FPGA development circuit boards (~$150 – both offer reduced pricing for students): D10-Lite from Terasic; Basys-3 from Digilent.
