Introduction to FPGA

Introduction
The objective of this lab is to learn the basics of Vivado and implement to an FPGA.    

Materials and Methods
- Install Vivado 2018 version.


Results
Task 1: Go through all the steps in this lab instruction, report your code, simulation results, and the on-board verification results.

Task 2: Use the same procedure to create XOR and OR gates. Run simulations to verify the logic.

Task 3: Use both the volatile and nonvolatile methods (QSPI) to program your FPGA.


Discussion
Understanding how to simulate logic to test before , sythesis logic to the FPGA, as well as write to the memory of the FPGA was informative and engaging.
