VERILOG / VHDL guided project tutorial UART design on FPGA

Learn to design your first UART project on FPGA with this practical course! This comprehensive, 17-video course guides you through the process using the Verilog HDL programming language.

You'll gain a solid understanding of UART fundamentals, including the crucial differences between full duplex UART transmission and half-duplex UART transmission, exploring their technical distinctions.

This course provides hands-on experience using the LOGISM EDA tool for designing, testing, and simulating logic circuits. You'll master the creation of a baud clock, understanding its synthesis from the system clock and how to accurately calculate its frequency. Discover what baud rate means, explore standard baud rates, and learn how to generate them effectively from the system clock.

The course breaks down the design into manageable sections: receiver design, baud generator implementation, and transmitter design. You'll learn how to design and wire the receiver and transmitter to their respective baud clocks, and how these components are integrated to form a complete UART transceiver.

Each module is designed for clarity, featuring numerous visuals, arrows, and pictures to simplify complex concepts. For enhanced understanding, utilize the provided LOGISM circuit file while following along with the tutorials.

Resources: VHDL scripts and the LOGISM circuit are attached to lesson two. No hardware is required – just your PC! This course is concise and focused, delivering essential knowledge directly.
