Chapter 4: Developing Your First FPGA Program
This chapter begins with a discussion on the effective use of FPGA devices in real-time embedded systems and continues with a description of the functional elements contained within standard FPGAs. The range of FPGA design languages, including Hardware Description Languages (HDLs), block diagram methods, and popular software programming languages including C and C++, is introduced. The chapter continues with an overview of the FPGA development process and concludes with a complete example of an FPGA development cycle starting with a statement of system requirements and ending with a functional system implemented in a low-cost FPGA development board.
