What Will I Learn?

• Design hardware behavior with the Verilog Hardware Description Language
• Simulate Verilog Modules.
• The curriculum will take you by the hand through learning Verilog.
• In the series, you'll learn how to simulate your designs, how to make them real in an FPGA, and finally how to design and use your own Soft Processor
• This first course is about the Verilog Hardware Description Language.
• This is NOT a System Verilog course. However, learning Verilog is a starting point if you want to learn System Verilog (Similar to learning C prior to C++).

Requirements

• Basic programming knowledge sometimes helps, but the case of no programming experience can be an advantage since you will learn something other than traditional sequential programming.
• Although a refresher is provided in this course, some basic digital electronics knowledge always helps. Not necessarily advanced stuff, just the basics: Logic gates, maybe flip flops, counters, tristate buffers, etc.
• Ultimately, an FPGA development board will come in handy to build and test your projects. We'll use it starting at the second course in the series.

Target audience

• Anyone who wants to learn FPGA design.
• Arduino Makers who want to take the next step into embedded systems.
• Hardware engineers who would like to learn about the exciting field of FPGA design
• This course is not for experienced embedded engineers specialized in FPGAs.
