Vivado Tutorial
Lab Workbook Vivado Tutorial Vivado Tutorial Introduction This tutorial guides you through the design flow using Xilinx Vivado software to create a simple digital circuit using Verilog HDL. A typical design flow consists of creating model(s), creating user constraint file(s), creating a Vivado project, importing the created models, assigning created constraint file(s), optionally running behavioral simulation, synthesizing the design, implementing the design, generating the bitstream, and finally verifying the functionality in the hardware by downloading the generated bitstream file. You will go through the typical design flow targeting the Artix-100 based Nexys4 board. The typical design flow is shown below. The circled number indicates the corresponding step in this tutorial. Figure 1. A typical design flow Objectives After completing this tutorial, you will be able to: • Create a Vivado project sourcing HDL model(s) and targeting a specific FPGA device located on the Nexys4 board • Use the provided partially completed Xilinx Design Constraint (XDC) file to constrain some of the pin locations • Add additional constraints using the Tcl scripting feature of Vivado • Simulate the design using the XSim simulator • Synthesize and implement the design • Generate the bitstream • Configure the FPGA using the generated bitstream and verify the functionality • Go through the design flow in batch mode using the Tcl script Procedure This tutorial is broken into steps that consist of general overview statements providing information on the detailed instructions that follow. Follow these detailed instructions to progress through the tutorial. www.xilinx.com/university Nexys4 Vivado Tutorial-1 [email protected] © copyright 2013 Xilinx Vivado Tutorial Lab Workbook Design Description The design consists of some inputs directly connected to the corresponding output LEDs. -

Some of these applications includes: random logic, bioinformatics, video and image processing, device controllers, communication encoding, modulation, and filtering, limited size systems with RAM blocks, and many more. For example, for video and image processing application it is very difficult and time consuming to use traditional HDL languages, so it’s obligatory to search for other efficient, synthesis tools to implement your design. The question is what is the best comparable language or tool to implement desired application. Also this research is very helpful for language developers to know strength points, weakness points, ease of use and efficiency of each tool or language. This research faced many challenges one of them is that there is no complete reference of all FPGA languages and tools, also available references and guides are few and almost not good. Searching for a simple example to learn some of these tools or languages would be a time consuming. This paper represents a review study or guide of almost all PLD's languages, interpreters and tools that can be used for programming, simulating and synthesizing PLD's for analog, digital & mixed signals and systems supported with simple examples. -

Reconfigurable Computing in the New Age of Parallelism
Reconfigurable Computing in the New Age of Parallelism Walid Najjar and Jason Villarreal Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of California Riverside Riverside, CA 92521, USA {najjar,villarre}@cs.ucr.edu Abstract. Reconfigurable computing is an emerging paradigm enabled by the growth in size and speed of FPGAs. In this paper we discuss its place in the evolution of computing as a technology as well as the role it can play in the cur- rent technology outlook. We discuss the evolution of ROCCC (Riverside Opti- mizing Compiler for Configurable Computing) in this context. Keywords: Reconfigurable computing, FPGAs. 1 Introduction Reconfigurable computing (RC) has emerged in recent years as a novel computing paradigm most often proposed as complementing traditional CPU-based computing. This paper is an attempt to situate this computing model in the historical evolution of computing in general over the past half century and in doing so define the parameters of its viability, its potentials and the challenges it faces. In this section we briefly summarize the main factors that have contributed to the current rise of RC as a computing paradigm. The RC model, its potentials and chal- lenges are described in Section 2. Section 3 describes the ROCCC 2.0 (Riverside Optimizing Compiler for Configurable Computing), a C to HDL compilation tool who objective is to raise the programming abstraction level for RC while providing the user with both a top down and a bottom-up approach to designing FPGA-based code accelerators. 1.1 The Role of the von Neumann Model Over a little more than half a century, computing has emerged from non-existence, as a technology, to being a major component in the world’s economy. -
