Hello
I did quite a bit on VHDL & Spartan 3 FPGA at uni 6 years ago.
As a learning experience (to cover designing both PCB's for FPGA's and writing HDL code) I want to design a pcb from scratch and write HDL code.
I'm thinking of a PCB with a camera an FPGA and a display.
The display shows what the camera sees and the FPGA performs video processing effects on the video.
Could anyone suggest a good starting point?
- Not sure xillinx -vs altera?
- Thoughts on who has best documention for beginers - walkthrus ideally?
- Want to buy a cheap dev board (Ideally less than £50) to get a taste of writing verilog/vhdl
- Want to avoid spending £200 on a debugger to use when I make my board in the future
- Any particular free online courses in FPGA development?
Would really appreciate any advice
Thanks a lot
Jamie
