This tutorial shows design examples for a SpartanIIE FPGA on an XESS XSB Board.
At the risk of providing too much information, here is a list of topics covered in these tutorials:
This tutorial shows the use of the WebPACK tools on two simple design examples:
>
> § an LED decoder and
> § a counter which displays its current value on a seven-segment LED.
>
> Along the way, you will see:
> § How to start an FPGA project.
> § How to target a design to a particular type of FPGA.
> § How to describe a logic circuit using VHDL and/or schematics.
> § How to detect and fix VHDL syntactical errors.
> § How to synthesize a netlist from a circuit description.
> § How to fit the netlist into an FPGA.
> § How to check device utilization and timing for an FPGA.
> § How to generate a bitstream for an FPGA.
> § How to download a bitstream to program an FPGA.
> § How to test the programmed FPGA.
