FINALLY! A video series using a modern Xilinx board. Everything else is using the older boards with the old ISE software. Great videos.

[@gruweldaad]

I'm a former Xilinx employee (non-technical role). We always heard how Vivado was really user friendly for people without extensive technical expertise, but I had never seen it demoed before. I'm shocked at how straight-forward this is. I feel like anyone can learn to make a simple system, without much training or even fluency in a language. Amazing video!

[@gyanchor2495]

Sir, your presentation skills are top notch. I am preparing for an interview (on IoT pentesting) and so revising stuff. I really admire the fact that you respond to almost every commenter. I am pretty sure that your channel will take off in future thanks to the blooming IoT industry. I will really like to have your advice if any. Loved the content as well. Please keep doing more. I am right now a Cybersecurity masters student (switched from a general computer science masters).

[@SimplyEmbedded]

Ayan, what a pleasure to hear from you, thank you for all your support! I wish you the best and I hope I can grow this channel.

"You will learn how to go from not being able to turn on an LED using a switch to being able to do that"...lol

[@solocarl4069]

I know nothing about programming and all that but tis video kind of gave me an insight of how hardware and software are linked. thanks . anyway I found your channel via ad.

[@SimplyEmbedded]

Hi Solo Carl, thank you for your insights and I'm truly happy to hear that you learned something new! There are more videos on my channel that talk about the chips that I'm using in my tutorials, if you are interested in learning about this. I'm trying to get a word out through ads so that people can start learning about software and hardware programming. Let me know if I can help you in any way in the future!!

[@jeffr8282]

Hi. Thank you for this video! Perhaps the goal of switching a LED is simple, but the steps to do it are applicable to every project.

[@piggystories2272]

Your awesome man you should make more videos about this!

[@AllAboutFPGA]

Good tutorial for those who want to start using Vivado Design Suite. I would recommand EDGE Artix 7 FPGA development kit for Vivado Design Suite learning.

[@scottficarro8720]

Great tutorial, just got this working on a Cora Z7 7S

[@ramkrishna-oz2qk]

Greatly helpful for beginners. Liked it very much as a new comer to FPGA programming

[@MrFuckhead99]

Thanks for the video! It really helped me learn how to configure the FPGA with the Vivado software. I am learning how to use an FPGA for courses on advanced digital circuits and microprocessor design. This was a great introduction for me; I have subscribed to your channel.

[@mjzoobi.ibrahim9690]

Thanks a lot, that is cool starting, you are good presenter hope that in the future you can go deep and take care of VHDL as well..

[@SimplyEmbedded]

Thank you M.I Ibrahim, means a lot to me! I'll be building up on concepts and tutorials. Eventually jumping into VHDL as well! :)

[@mjzoobi.ibrahim9690]

Thanks for your prompt reply. To me, definitely, any efforts in this topic will be very useful, as I am at the beginning of studying the FPGA, which starts shaping the future of embedded systems

[@SimplyEmbedded]

You're absolutely right! I hope to see you around, and let me know if there's anything specific you would like to learn - I truly consider my viewers input and want to help people understand this material. :)

[@alexandrevenito1215]

[@VinayKumar-ii8ky]

Thank you very much. This is very good and it's very helpful to because I am having an interview their requirement is mainly on FPGA . THIS video I have got in advertisement. Thank you for making this video. Your explanation is very very clear in this video.

[@SimplyEmbedded]

Vinay Kumar, I'm glad you found this video helpful, your support is very helpful and it enables me to continue making more videos like this! Good luck on your interview! :)

[@juliuscesar4176]

I got a weird "JTAG device index = 0) is programmed with a design that has no supported debug core(s) in it." message, but the switch still turns on the LED, so I think I'm good. Thank you for breaking this down so that I can understand!

[@pinocchio7353]

Hi Greidi, thank you for this nice video! I learned to use Vivado 2014.4 for programming NI DSDB on ELVIS II with xc7z020clg484-3 FPGA.

[@paulspark7287]

Where has your website gone? One of the things I'm interested in is how to move from an FPGA development board to an actual PCB.. avoiding surface mount devices. What's the best way of doing this? Are there sockets available for most FPGAs so you don't have to solder them directly and can easily insert them into a PCB after programming?

[@shkitunPavel]

Thank you for the lesson, master.

Can you share the video which shows the designing and implementation of elliptic curve cryptography processor in Xilinx

[@geoffreyjbrown]

It would seem to me that it would be good to also cover some basics on what a FPGA can essentially be used for in terms of useful real world stuff. One of the take home messages I get from your video is that a FPGA can do multiple things simultaneously whereas with using an Arduino say there will be a small delay as the program running sequentially checks inputs and changes outputs in response to the input and the program logic. Is this the main benefit of FPGAs - executing multiple logic in parallel at real-time speeds ? I found your video good intro to what FPGAs are and programming them so went off to download the Vivado software. The software looks very feature rich and was waiting for some sort of payment to appear. It popped up with NZD$4853.70 so the main barrier I see here to anyone experimenting in this arena is the cost of the software to program the FPGAs. The cost of the FPGAs themselves does not appear to be a big barrier to experimenting with them. Is there any cheaper FPGA programming software options ? It would also seem to me that unless you are needing multiple parallel things to happen at the same time a microcontroller like Arduino will satisfy 99.8% of cases and the 0.2% where faster speed is needed is really the domain of the FPGA (perhaps still in conjunction with a microprocessor for the more complex logic I suspect). Would I be right on that also - they are a niche item typically used with a microcontroller ? If so they really are a niche item with application only in specific scenarios. Correct ? Many thanks for making the video. Was the best intro I found on the subject.

One manufacturer has told me that the QMTECH Xilinx Zynq7000 Zynq XC7Z010 PL can be programmed using Vivado but that for the PS I need to load the linux binary image in the micro SD card, and if I want to modify it I need Linux. Can I just learn the basics of FPGA without having to modify the original PS? As I just have Windows

[@razvanvlad607]

Can anybody help me? I'm a beginner and I'm looking for a FPGA board to start with. I don't know which board is the most suitable for me. Nexys A7 is way too expensive. My options for the time being are: Basys 3 artix-7, Arty A7/S7 or Cmod A7/S7 (breadboardable). I need a good price quality ratio. And also I don't know if the breadboardable boards are enough powerful and capable. Are they worth it? Or the extra money for the other boards like Basys and Arty is worth it more? Thank you very much!

[@devadershank584]

Can you tell me how we can program a spartan 6 series fpga without using a fpga development board?

[@jatinsharma8287]

Is there any difference between microcontroller like Arduino and embedded systems ?

[@SimplyEmbedded]

Jatin Sharma, thank you so much for your question! Yes there is a difference, Arduino development boards are used to create embedded systems. Embedded system is a combination of hardware and some kind of software - due to this Arduino board just by itself isn't an embedded system.

[@mehtabahmed6092]

Is there any way that I can start with FPGA without having the board as currently I dont have the budget? I mean any recommended software simulator instead of board.

Does terasic de 10 nano compatible with this tutorials?

[@SimplyEmbedded]

Hello, the quick answer is no since it is an Altera FPGA, but the verilog HDL language is the same, so the code I’m talking about will work on different dev boards (keep in mind the pin layouts are different for the xdc files). Hope this helps :)

[@kevguz1534]

So I bought the Blackboard from the official website but my Blackboard didn't come with any cables to connect to my computer. I tried cables that would connect to port shown on 10:51 of the video and I didn't have any luck. Are theses specific cables I need? If yes, can you direct me to a link to purchase the cables. Please and thank you
