Over on GitHub, [ttsiodras] wanted to learn VHDL. So he started with an algorithm to do Mandelbrot sets and moved it to an FPGA. Because of the speed, he was able to accomplish real-time zooming. You ...

The VHDL code provided with this article (“VHDL Code Listing” at www.electronicdesign.com, Drill Deeper 19222) is an example of one way to implement the LED driver in a CPLD.

The simulation of the system proves all the features mention above. They have designed the system using VHDL codes in Xilinx & analog filter simulation in Matlab.

VHDL code looks odd from a software programmer’s perspective because it’s closer to the hardware and strongly typed: an 8-bit integer isn’t the same as eight wires in VHDL.

HDL Coder generates target independent, synthesizable Verilog and VHDL code from MATLAB functions, Simulink models, and Stateflow charts. The generated HDL code is bit-true and cycle-accurate to ...
