FPGA Prototyping Using Verilog Examples will provide you with a hands-on introduction to Verilog synthesis and FPGA programming through a “learn by doing” approach. By following the clear, easy-to-understand templates for code development and the numerous practical examples, you can quickly develop and simulate a sophisticated digital circuit, realize it on a prototyping device, and verify the operation of its physical implementation. This introductory text that will provide you with a solid foundation, instill confidence with rigorous examples for complex systems and prepare you for future development tasks.

Features
This book is different from existing digital design or HDL books. It is unique in several respects:
It uses a learning-by-doing approach to introduce the concepts and techniques for HDL, synthesis, and FPGA
It provides a collection of clelar, easy-to-folloow templates for quick code development
It contains a large number of practical examples to illustrate and reinforce the design concepts and techniques. All examples can be implemented and tested on a prototyping board.
The codes provided follow strict design guidelines and prepare the reader for developing large, complex systems in the future.
Most codes were written in a device-independent and software-neutral fashion and are not tied to a particular device or synthesis software package
The book contains four chapters for the Xilinx PicoBlaze soft-core microcontroller
The book covers the design of all I/O modules of the Digilent Basys prototyping board and has prepared constraint files, project files, and configuration files. When used with this board, the book and board combo becomes a self-contained "turn-key" solution for introductory and advanced digital design experiments and projects.
