This text is intended as a supplementary text and laboratory manual for undergraduate students in a contemporary course in digital logic and embedded systems. Professionals who have not had an exposure to the fine grained FPGA, the Verilog HDL, an EDA software tool or the new paradigm of the controller and datapath and the FSM will find that this text and the Xilinx Spartan-3E Starter Board provides the necessary experience in this emerging area of electrotechnology.




Embedded Design Using Programmable Gate Arrays describes the analysis and design of modern embedded systems using the field programmable gate array (FPGA).  The FPGA has traditionally provided support for embedded design by implementing customized peripherals and controller and datapath algorithmic state machines.  Although microprocessor-based computer systems have usually been used for the design of larger scale embedded systems, the paradigm of the FPGA now challenges that notion of such a fixed architecture especially with the constraints ofreal-time.
This new paradigm in embedded system design machine describes the Verilog behavioral synthesis of finite state machine as a controller and datapath architecture in digital signal processing (DSP), digital communications, digital control and data communication utilizing the FPGA, the integration of external interface hard peripherals and the implementation of a custom internal soft core peripherals and soft core processors.
The transition to embedded system design now in the massively parallel and fine grained architecture of the modern FPGA is described in-part by the translation of C/C++ program segments for real-time processing to a controller and datapath architecture or an algorithmic state machine.  However, the emergence of the Xilinx 8-bit PicoBlaze and 32-bit MicroBlaze soft core processors now also challenges the conventional microprocessor with its fixed architecture for embedded system design.
Embedded Design Using Programmable Gate Arrays features the Xilinx Spartan-3E™ FPGA and the Digilent Basys Board and the Spartan-3E Starter Board, the Xilinx Integrated Synthesis Environment (ISE) WebPACK design environment in Verilog HDL, the Xilinx CORE Generator for LogiCORE Verilog modules and the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK) for the Xilinx 8-bit PicoBlaze soft core processor. The complete Xilinx ISE WebPACK Verilog source code modules for the projects delineated in the text and executing on the the Spartan-3E Starter Board are provided for download.  A limited number of Xilinx ISE WebPACK projects can execute on the less expensive Diligent Spartan-3E Basys Board (www.digilentinc.com)

Here are some Laboratory projects used in the undergraduate ECE course that utilize the Spartan-3E Starter Board and the Xilinx ISE design environment (solutions are not generally available).






Important Notes : - 

These are the collection of lectures notes . Our subjective is to help students to find all engineering notes with different lectures slides in power point, pdf or html file at one place. Because we always face that we lose much time by searching in  Google or yahoo like search engines to find or downloading a good lecture notes in our subject area. Also it is difficult to find popular authoress or books slides with free of cost.

    If you find any copyrighted slides or notes then please inform us immediately by comments or email as following address .I will take actions to remove it. Please click bellow to download ppt slides/ pdf notes. If you face any problem in downloading or if you find any link not correctly work or if you have any idea to improve this blog/site or if you find any written mistake or you think some subjects notes should be include then give your suggestion as comment by clicking on comment link bellow the post (bottom of page) or email us in this address engineeringppt.blogspot@gmail.com?subject=comments on engineeringppt.blogspot.com. I will must consider your comments only within 1-2 days.

If you have any good class notes/lecture slides in ppt or pdf or html format then please you upload these files to rapidshare.come and send us links or all files by our email address engineeringppt.blogspot@gmail.com?subject=comments on engineeringppt.blogspot.com.

To find your notes quickly please see the contents on the right hand side of this page which is alphabetically arranged and right click on it. After clicking immediately you find all the notes ppt / pdf / html / video of your searching subjects.

It is better to search your subject notes by clicking on search button which is present at middle of right side of this web page. Then enter your subject and press enter key then you can find all of your lectures notes and click on it.
