FPGA Education

Introduction

Hope you find these free course materials useful. All materials are copyrighted but please use, learn, and share the knowledge!

These materials are also offered as a 1/2 day two-week long "hands-on" FPGA Design Bootcamp for anyone interested in becoming an expert in short order. The bootcamp will provide students with an FPGA development kit as well as a guided tutorial/lab instruction and solutions. The bootcamp is very challenging and designed for people that want to power through the materials and ask questions when they get stuck. Its not for the faint of heart or anyone that expects to be spoon fed information, but if you are willing to work I can provide you with an opportunity to become an expert in this high demand field of FPGA Design.

The course materials cover digital design, VHDL|Verilog, FPGA design, and conclude with a state machine implementation in hardware. I have developed the materials to highlight important topics and emphasize subjects that should dramactically increase your ability to learn and retain this complicated subject.

The materials require no prerequisites outside of strong programming skills and a basic understanding of digital circuits. Over the past decade of teaching this course to hundreds of students and practicing professionals I have discovered that computer scientists are exceptionally adept, and therefore encouraged to give it a try. Whether you are an experienced engineer looking for a refresh, or a complete newbie looking to build your resume, I hope you find this site useful!
