Project to practice Verilog and FPGA design flow in Vivado.
The design will display a static image to a monitor via the VGA
port of the Basys3 board. For demonstration purposes an LED light
and the seven segment display also light up. The image is stored
in the FPGA's block RAM, it can be customized by using the Python
script provided in the tools directory to convert any image file
you want to display:
python3 tools/main.py input.png > init/vram.init
To simulate; go into the `sim` directory and run `make`;
then use `vvp output/testbench.vvp` to create the waveform dump.
To synthesize the design for the Basys3 board; enter the `vivado_flow` directory
and run `vivado -mode batch -source run_batch.tcl`. This will create the bitstream
file to program the FPGA.
