Description
Kick off to FPGA Programming with the MAX1000 Board and VHDPlus
Ready to master FPGA programming? With this bundle, you'll dive into the world of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) – a configurable integrated circuit that can be programmed after manufacturing. Bring your ideas to life, from simple projects to complete microcontroller systems!
The MAX1000 is a compact and powerful FPGA development board packed with features like memory, user LEDs, push-buttons, and flexible I/O ports. It’s the ideal starting point for anyone wanting to learn about FPGAs and Hardware Description Languages (HDLs).
With the enclosed book "FPGA Programming and Hardware Essentials" you'll get hands-on with the VHDPlus programming language – a simpler version of VHDL. You'll work on practical projects using the MAX1000, helping you gain the skills and confidence to unleash your creativity.
Projects in the Book
- Arduino-driven BCD to 7-Segment Display Decoder
- Use an Arduino Uno R4 to supply BCD data to the decoder, counting from 0 to 9 with a one-second delay
- Multiplexed 4-Digit Event Counter
- Create an event counter that displays the total count on a 4-digit display, incrementing with each button press
- PWM Waveform with Fixed Duty Cycle
- Generate a PWM waveform at 1 kHz with a fixed duty cycle of 50%
- Ultrasonic Distance Measurement
- Measure distances using an ultrasonic sensor, displaying the results on a 4-digit 7-segment LED
- Electronic Lock
- Build a simple electronic lock using combinational logic gates with push buttons and an LED output
- Temperature Sensor
- Monitor ambient temperature with a TMP36 sensor and display the readings on a 7-segment LED
MAX1000 FPGA Development Board
The MAX1000 is a customizable IoT/Maker Board ready for evaluation, development and/or use in a product. It is built around the Intel MAX10 FPGA, which is the industry’s first single chip, non-volatile programmable logic device (PLDs) to integrate the optimal set of system components.
Users can now leverage the power of tremendous re-configurability paired with a high-performance, low-power FPGA system. Providing internally stored dual images with self-configuration, comprehensive design protection features, integrated ADCs and hardware to implement the Nios II 32-bit microcontroller IP, MAX10 devices are ideal solution for system management, protocol bridging, communication control planes, industrial, automotive and consumer applications.
The MAX1000 is equipped with an Arrow USB Programmer2, SDRAM, flash memory, accelerometer sensor and PMOD/Arduino MKR connectors making it a fully featured plug and play solution without any additional costs.
