How to Create VGA Controller in Verilog on FPGA? | Xilinx FPGA Programming Tutorials

[@carlmhurd]

It may be useful to note that you have no need of a VGA connector on the board. You are simply need 15 I/O ports as you are writing the driver for those ports. You don't need to buy an external VGA port, you can simply cut open a VGA cable and make your own.

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the late post, I had to take some time off in between! Thumbs up if you enjoyed the video! See you next time!

[@kevinhevans]

Damn, I definitely needed this video in EE214 last semester. You're better at explaining this than Clint, that's for sure.

[@SimplyEmbedded]

Well that's unfortunate that it came a semester late, hopefully it will be good use for future students! Not sure about being better than Clint, but again thanks!

[@m1geo]

Your HSYNC and VSYNC are reversed for VGA. They should be negative pulses. You must have tweaked this to get the VGA working.

Hi Greidi, I really enjoyed this video. It lays out a nice frame work to be able to experiment with. Congrats on the new job and all the best to you and your family. Rick

[@SimplyEmbedded]

Thank you Rick! Hope you’re doing well! Let me know if this project works out for you, you could build a retro style ping pong game using this tutorial :D.

[@alfredomamani2269]

I have recentely found your KZbin Channel and I think it has astonishing information about FPGA. I hope you could continue sharing your expiriences and work. I am glad. Hope you best wishes! n.n

[@rahmatdwiputra]

Are you gonna post more videos? I'm too hyped for this!!

[@SciHeartJourney]

Thank you for the detailed explanation of the code. This is really helpful.

Hey I’m here from that guy you played with on Fortnite named nick eh 30 🙃🙃🙃

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

You rock man, thank you so much. And thanks for keeping it simple.

[@521bingo]

Looking forward to your update!

Can you please make a video on multiplication of 3×3 matrix using fpga

[@delicious_lunch3823]

I don't know who the heck Nick Eh 30 is, and I'm here cause I'm trying to implement VGA in my FPGA core.

[@goofypettiger]

Excellent information, thank you.

[@phm1382]

can you share your VGA project files? I would like to use it for students' labs.

[@vilaparthyvenkatkamal5175]

Please continue uploading more videos please

[@sylarlao1201]

Could you do some videos about the input output delay constraints...that’ll be extremely helpful. Thx.

[@Aligreta]

Would be nice an example of mapping vram or bram bits to pixels, ie monochrome to be simple

I was indeed! Thank you!

Thank You So Much!!!!!!!!!! Excellent VIdeo

[@wizzerdddddddddd]

Could you do a video on making an HDMI controller?

[@proxy1035]

how do you even get all these numbers at the start? i'm trying to generate a VGA signal with an FPGA but want to have a smaller resolution. something like 320x240 (half VGA), what would the pixel clock be like, the sync pulses, front/back porch, etc. i didn't notice anything in the video that says how you calculate that. I don't think it's good to assume everyone will use 640x480, i've seen people who were able to generate much smaller and rather odd resolutions with microcontrollers. (128x96, 64x64, and probably more)

[@dawidstolarski256]

Heya, any advices on how to add a switch and multiple patterns (Switchable via switch)? Can't figure that one out :p

[@drbalontotis2474]

so thanks bro ✌

[@dmitryponyatov2158]

What RAMDAC system do you recommend if I want to make a cheap retro-style computer based on the STM32F107 MCU? I want to use FPGA for GPIO and custom peripheral processing, and VGA output is the first candidate. I select F107 as the cheapest MCU with Eth included, but it has no FSMC. The closest STM32F103 with FSMC has 2x price and not in local stocks now.

[@dmitryponyatov2158]

I want to use 332RGB with 640x480 or 800x600, both of them require to have not less than 512K of VRAM, and unused memory maybe cab used for hardware sprites. I did some search, and can't find cheap RAM with required size, maybe some hardware RAMDACs still exists?

[@arynnette]

Nick Eh 30! Your a smart young man.

[@SimplyEmbedded]

Thank you! Ehhh!

[@mekbots7607]

could you please make video about serial port in verilog ,thanks

[@GORF_EMPIRE]

I'm not sure how this actually works since VGA requires negative sync..... ie... goes low in sync. Am I missing something since the wave form you show agrees with me but the test bench does not.

[@pradeeptidke420]

Sir pls make similar video for HDMI controller.

[@tipsykid1]

Is it possible to display various texts like a long dialogue without having to set certain pixels on the screen, like an indie game involving npc conversations, how much work would it take?

[@uccoskun]

Hello Greidi: Can you update the link of the FPGA development board. It is broken now.

[@proxy1035]

why only do VGA in 640x480? what if you want to change the resolution to something strange/less common? like 320x200 or 256x240, etc it should all be possible with the correct timing.

[@vespital]

Who’s from nicks stream?

[@xav500011]

is there some VHDL code somewhere that will program a FPGA to act as a VGA scandoubler that will convert a vga input with 15khz refresh rate to a vga output with a refresh rate of 31khz

[@ghanshyamc463]

Why is the code not linked?

[@drippiemikk]

Excellent video! Wish I could make this myself on my channel, unique, that's why I'm jealous and I subscribed to your channel! Keep putting out content like this, greetings from Denmark!

[@LearningEmbeddedWorld]

So how is embedded software engineer's salary do they make money more than application developers

[@SimplyEmbedded]

Based on the average US statistics, application developer average salary is ~68k/year and for Embedded software engineer it is ~80k/year. So we can conclude that embedded software engineers earn more on AVERAGE. Hope this helps!

Yes, as long as you are dealing with Verilog HDL, and of course your XDC file would be different. Give it a try, and let me know how it went!
