Project F: Exploring FPGAs

This repository contains the SystemVerilog designs to accompany the Project F Exploring FPGAs series. The designs are open source hardware under the permissive MIT licence, but the blog is subject to normal copyright restrictions.

FPGA Graphics

In this series, we explore graphics at the hardware level and get a feel for the power of FPGAs. We'll learn how displays work, race the beam with Pong, animate starfields and sprites, paint Michelangelo's David, simulate life with bitmaps, draw lines and shapes, and finally render simple 3D models.
