How'd you get your head around all these protocols?
@skeezixcodejedi
@skeezixcodejedi 4 жыл бұрын
_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..

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 .

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.

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.

i know some 40pin ttl screen use a similar way to print a screen. they have a vsync, hsync, clk and instead of using an analog signal they use 24bits of digital color so its easyer to drive the with an fpga. they also us a data enable pin to tell when theres is valid data on the bus. So if some want to get into fpga it can be easyer. the downside its a bit more expensive than using an old vga display. Fpga board form sipeed come with the connector for those screen on the board.

0:45 it's possible to use an Arduino (and timer interrupts) to produce a low resolution VGA signal. There will be very little CPU cycles left to do something else so using a second Arduino to do other things might be needed as well. It's a poor solution thought. A FPGA or dedicated ASIC is definitely more suited for the job.

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 used that same VGA Adapter for my DE0 Nano VGA driver ! I wanna replicate ben eaters in the future in VHDL or Verilog, im saving FPGA stuff for the future simple VGA was the last thing i did

I was wondering if you know bitluni in person?! Following your channel since some time. Great content, keep it up!

The biggest issue I have with FPGAs is simply cost. They're just still too expensive. I could get an ATmega328 and a crystal for

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?!

Wow, these are expensive. The only TinyFPGA I could find on ebay was your BX version and it was approximately $71CAD + $19CAD to ship. I guess this is something I'll learn about another time.

@GreatScott Look up Ben Eater's video on making a video card. Very informative on how to send an image to a monitor.
