Overview of this book

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have now become a core part of most modern electronic and computer systems. However, to implement your ideas in the real world, you need to get your head around the FPGA architecture, its toolset, and critical design considerations. FPGA Programming for Beginners will help you bring your ideas to life by guiding you through the entire process of programming FPGAs and designing hardware circuits using SystemVerilog. The book will introduce you to the FPGA and Xilinx architectures and show you how to work on your first project, which includes toggling an LED. You’ll then cover SystemVerilog RTL designs and their implementations. Next, you’ll get to grips with using the combinational Boolean logic design and work on several projects, such as creating a calculator and updating it using FPGA resources. Later, the book will take you through the advanced concepts of AXI and show you how to create a keyboard using PS/2. Finally, you’ll be able to consolidate all the projects in the book to create a unified output using a Video Graphics Array (VGA) controller that you’ll design. By the end of this SystemVerilog FPGA book, you’ll have learned how to work with FPGA systems and be able to design hardware circuits and boards using SystemVerilog programming.

Chapter 2: Combinational Logic

Designs are typically composed of combinational and sequential logic. Combinational logic is made up simply of gates, as we saw in Chapter 1, Introduction to FPGA Architectures and Xilinx Vivado. Sequential logic maintains state, usually based on a clock edge, but it can be level-based as well, as we will discuss when we learn what not to do when inferring sequential logic.

In this chapter, we are going to explore writing a complete SystemVerilog module from scratch that can perform some basic real-world operations that you may use one day in your actual designs.

In this chapter, we are going to cover the following main topics:

  • Creating SystemVerilog modules
  • Introducing data types
  • Packaging up code using functions
  • Project – creating combinational logic
