www.fpga4fun.com was bullesye. Very good intro to FPGA and it had all I needed to get me going.

So my next quest is to create a binary to test on the minimig. I guess a easy program to test is to toggle some io pins high and low and look at them using a logic probe...just to see if things work :)

Anyone else who might have a goode idea for a nice newbie testprogram to try to make ?


A VGA output with color bars is not too difficult to make.
The synchro/blanking generator is basically two counters with comparators.
The color bars are just a 3-bit counter counting from 0 to 7 on one scanline.
I am training a VHDL newbie at work. I have asked him this kind of stuff.
