@@aakashjana6225 I think it's meant to show what fun you can have learning about these. Not meant as a tutorial or so, just as inspiration for those looking for a fun project or so.
That's awesome. I think you may have inspired me to get back into these little beastys after about 25 years. It looks much easier than it used to be. Great video
I recently figured out hdmi on a xilinx fpga as well. Honestly only 2 pages of code once I got my head around it .. Can provide details if needed Vga is old hat now :)
_Lolucoca_ vga is ‘just’ analog voltage to control brifgtness for each rgb colour channel, plus careful timing. Not too hard once you read up a bit and ‘click’ .. like again a page or two of codevin C even can expeess it All of these descend from tv in a lot of ways so there is consistency in concept Hdmi is a little trickier as they added some magic and also kept all the docs behind walls. There is a lot to it of you get into it - hdcp and all those security and audi protocols and so on. But if you go to its most basic tv modes and lower resolutions it will permit aimpler operation - its a layered protocol where you establish a link and add on layers of function. At its simplest its nearly just like vga .. you can get like 720p at 60hz as long as your timingis feeding out the pixel values on the right clock. Its digital instead of analog so timing is enormously more precise, hence why fpga is odeal and not a slow chip like most mcu Its also not using single wire for the levels, but differential pair (which many fpga directly support). Fofferential pair is a plus and minus wire and the delta is a pulse. So you need 3 pairs (rgb) and a pair for clock, and theres a little funny credit card chrcksum like thing you do to pad out the bits so it can sync or checksum or someyhing. But thats it - you need a crazy high clock (I forget .. 600MHz or something) and pump out the rgb values in digital. Its just fpga verilog is another step past what normal code is like and historically fpga and verilog books and kits are expensive as hell. But the last uear teat boards and chips came way way down in proce and old books are cheap on the market..
@@skeezixcodejedi I also would like the see the code. Can you post it on pastebin or github etc? EDIT: Maybe you can do a blog post or a write up somewhere. Would be really interesting.
Great video, once again! Like always, very informative without getting too sophisticated. And by the way, it shows a great sense of humour, to let the chip blink SOS to say "everything worked out correctly"
Amazing explation as usual. Been a fan for a long time. These projects keep a person sane in a time like this and you learn at the same time . 😁 WIN! WIN! ✌🏼🙏🏻
GreatScott, very good introduction to tiny FPGA bx .I recalled 5 yrs ago when xillins donated FPGA to my Diploma/secondary engineering school without training .I tried to self-learning through Internet for 3 days and finally gave up !! The price of FPGA and one day professional training are extremely expensive and even the university professors are layman/greenHorn in 2015 ! Today 2020 ,I started to see TinyFpgaBx ,simplified version for Beginners. It was similar to Arduino(invented in 2003 by Italians ,Raspberry Pi invented in UK ) .All are cheap versions for Primary School Toy now.The FPGA will becoming the Secondary School Toy soon ( 2020 many University Engineering Starts to teach U-degree courses, BSc,MSc,Phd ). Thus with Cheap Fpda , future youngsters will create their own computer, microprocessor, CPU, GPU ,SoC,Qbit/quantumComputer...etc. Thanks for your sharing knowledge .
This video reminded me to some time ago when I learned VHDL at university! The Pong project was a great throwback. Do you plan to do more videos on the FPGA theme? I’d love to see some more :)
man i remember watching you making a radio years ago. i even asked who listen to radio still and you answered for some reason (me being an entitled idiot back then, thinking if i don't use it who should). this might be the first project i might sit down and start doing my self. i really enjoy your content keep it up!!!
Nice introductory video. When you showed the Arty board I nearly fell of my chair while screaming. Not only Xilinx FPGAs are overkill for beginners, the prices are too high, especially the in case of the Digilent dev boards. Then you showed the Lattice FPGA with a completely open source board, and development environment, and I instantly calmed down. I've been using FPGAs for years. Xilinx, Intel, Microsemi, Lattice. Nowadays I'm only using Lattice, it has the right amount of resources, the right price, and an amazingly helpful community. Oh and those Tiny FPGAs are pure gem. When the new EX version comes out I will surely buy it.
DUDE! I've always wanted to get into fpga! this is awesome! I love the fact that the fpga is in a frendly arduino like form factor! and its cheap! thanks for the video! keep it up!
In my Electrical Engineering class we designed this controller using SystemVerilog. I would be more than happy to supply my version to anyone who wanted to dig deeper...
Interesting video! I'm implementing Ben Eater's 8-bit computer in an FPGA on my channel in a series of videos. A VGA display is one thing I plan to implement after expanding the computer to be able to use it.
you are awesome man !!!! please elaborate more about FPGA and how to use it to control DC motors indeed man u r brilliant love you appreciate your effort and knowledge
Wow! A great video!! I didn't know there were so many resources available on this topic. It's not for me at the moment but I'll definitely save it on my playlist. :)
The youtube algorithm continues to impress me. Yeah I watch tech videos, yours even. But to recommend this to me RIGHT after I watched a video disassembling a tube TV, and a few days after watching pi pico videos.... they just knew I have everything to do this...
This channel is just amazing! I would love if you eventually do a video a bit different, talking about you, what got you in this beautiful field of electronics and engineering, what do you do besides this channel in the professional sense, and maybe some tips and advice for new students (as me) on this field who would love to know what we could achieve in our careers.
Sweet, I didn't know such small (and easily usable) fpga boards were already available. The Arduino MKR Vidor 4000 seemed promising at first, until I've read that you could only use predefined fpga modules, which prevented me to look into this for a long time. Anyways, these miniature boards should be a lot easier to incorporate into projects in contrast to those Xilinx/Altera dev-boards I used to work with.
Good job detailing all of the basic steps like installing atom and installing extensions; I remember frustrating over that stuff when I was a beginner, very valuable stuff!
I recently started plying with FPGAs, and it is fun. System Verilog has vary similar syntax with C, so designing the circuit is basically like programming.
So head over to Mike Field's Hamsterworks site, and grab his ebook. Then go look for 'Free Range VHDL' also a good free ebook. Then just stop messing about and get started. But be warned - if you're any kind of programmer, VHDL will do your head. Can't comment on Verilog, don't use it. Oh - and those schematic capture IDE's - yes. But see how quickly it got out of hand? Visual Basic anyone? Just bite the bullet and learn to code...
Das ist genau das Video, was ich mir lange ersehnt habe! Dank' dir, bitte bitte gern mehr dazu! Gibt ja auch VGA Output via ESP32 (FabGL Library) wirklich toll dass du dich dem nun auch widmest!
@@RobertSzasz Nah -the DAC is three resistors.. HDMI - that's more interesting, since it is three data streams (which are differential, so you need to understand your chosen FPGA's primitives for balanced serial output) and load them up with correctly formed 24 bit data. Oh - and get the timing right. There's a reason why VGA is in nearly every HDL textbook, and HDMI is something a lot of people _say_ they have done, but very few post code.. (There are some who have, and Kudos to them - but just because HDMI is 'just' digital doesn't make it easier.)
@@timwatson682 proper vga is 18 bpp color. At a minimum you would have to build a resistor array. Making VGAish (low bit depth) is way, way easier than HDMI though. (Done low bit depth "vga" myself, used off the shelf for HDMI, though the hardware is only simpler to bodge for HDMI if you have the on chip drivers for 3.3v differential signaling )
Im not really a VHDL expert. Learned some Bluespec last semester in the university but we didn’t run it on real hardware So the Bluespec Compiler basically translates the code into verilog. Do you thing you can Programm the tiny fpga then with Bluespec?
I was going to mention Arty board that I used to output VGA, and then you showed it. Well, I only used the sample program that they have for it and I don’t really know how to do stuff myself on it. (Also the VGA adapter digilent sells for it only has a couple bits for each R G B signal.)
Good video.... you managed to give a good overview of FPGA without either over-simplifying or over-complexifying..... You could have gone into a bit more detail with the VGA stuff though... I'd love to see someone go into the level of detail that Ben Eater did with his "World's worst VGA" series... but for a better FPGA solution. Another option here is to use a Parallax Propeller microController.... relatively cheap and drives a VGA rather well. These boards do look interesting though, especially as you can use entirely open-source (and therefore "Linux friendly") tools to develop and program their "B-series" boards.
I have to dig up the vhdl I used to create a basic vga/cga output on a digilent Spartan dev board years ago.. (output was limited since there was no dac)
Really informative video! I had an idea of what FPGA's were from watching a couple of videos on the EEVBlog, but this explained things in a much simpler way to understand. May have to get myself one!
i was learning about how cpu works and ALU adder, Ram and stuff but i am not able to learn how the display and user interafce works please recommend me any article or explaination by which i can learn it please. I know display is created pixel by pisel i want to know what are the logics to make it. Like what cpu fetches decodes and executes.
What would be a good platform to learn on? TinyFPGA BX board or Fomu ? For example, the fomu appears to use a RISC-V softcore and uses the ValentyUSB ip core / github smunaut/ice40-playground/tree/usb/cores/usb ) I'm interested in a structured learning material, that goes from zero fpga knowledge, to designing a USB interface! Would also be nice if the workshop covers Migen/MiSoC->LiteX , which seems to flatten the learning curve by allowing the use of Python to generate HDL?!
This is some neat stuff! But please tell me is this compatible with the MIT license? I want to make sure that GPL won't stain my projects whether hardware (PCB or FPGA) or software and that I have no royalties to pay.
Meanwhile, I just want a simple little low frame rate LCD display driver I can recycle old 15" laptop screens with... Something that will take in SPI or I2C and do all the same stuff those "arduino" LCD modules on eBay do.... But spitting out data compatible with typical laptop screens. There has to be more of a market for that than just me.
Also looking into display driver fpga programming, but I suppose that would be a great deal of reverse engineering the displays, and varies from display-to-display.
I know this is an old video, but I just found it. If you happen to know how many of those precious LUT's your LED blinker circuit took, and how many LUTs the pong game took, I would love to know.
I managed to get a VGA display from a teensy, but my code was not the best and all I could do is display a basic pattern. A lot of people use pic to make TV rgb testers. The Ben Eater video was so good as explaining the way vga worked, I am happy to see you talk about it on the comments. Perhaps you could recreate his ttl logic setup in this fpga ?
Surely hope this is just a toe-in-the-water. A great introduction, but I would like to see a great deal more. Gonna check the budget ( $ and time ) to see what I can do on my own for now. Thanks for another thought provoking video.
Groovy stuff! Will it be possible to create energy harvesting solutions in fpga? My dream is to have 400to 230V converter and be able to power the fridge.. Charging 5V devices is easy. All best!
Hi Great Scott i have a question that can i use b3 10w compact charger to charge 3s lipo battery pack and 18650 cells 3s battery pack? Directly with this charger without bms on battery pack? Thank you ❤️
Ben Eater also has a great video on driving a vga
Yep, I saw them. Great stuff :-)
I saw the vid, he used discrete logic chips, however, instead of an FPGA
He used 6 74ls161 9 8 input nanda gate(74ls30) 4 74ls04
2 74ls00
And one eeprom
He is good at logics though
Ben used low-level components; he came as close to creating a video-card out of paperclips and gum as anyone probably ever will. 👍
"The LED on my FPGA board started blinking in Morse Codes displaying SOS, which means that everything worked out correctly."
Hmm...
I don't know whether to be concerned for Scott or the -sweatshop- manufacturers...
HMMMMMM...
@@anonymouspuppy H . . . - - - . . .

Stop the video at 5:45. The demo code shows a "blink_pattern" variable set to SOS in binary.

I always get goosebumps when I see that you highlight 2-3 times and the paper start to bend a little bit due to excess humidity.
You went from turning a led on and of with a t-flip flop to driving a VGA display and playing pong _real fast_

The Ben Eater video was so good as explaining the way vga worked, I am happy to see you talk about it on the comments. Perhaps you could recreate his ttl logic setup in this fpga ?
Please finish the Bike Security system! We waited so long!!!
It is already done. Patreon supporter can watch it for a week now. It will go public next week.
@@greatscottlab ok thanks Maybe I should support you;). Keep your work up! Greetings from Germany👍
Surely hope this is just a toe-in-the-water. A great introduction, but I would like to see a great deal more. Gonna check the budget ( $ and time ) to see what I can do on my own for now. Thanks for another thought provoking video.
Groovy stuff!
Will it be possible to create energy harvesting solutions in fpga? My dream is to have 400to 230V converter and be able to power the fridge..
Charging 5V devices is easy.
All best!
