FPGA Programming (Verilog)

Design digital hardware. Master Verilog HDL to program FPGAs, simulate logic gates, and implement custom processors.

FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) allow you to design custom hardware circuits. This course teaches Verilog, a Hardware Description Language (HDL). Unlike software, you are describing parallel physical connections. You will learn to simulate logic gates, design state machines, and implement protocols like UART and VGA from scratch. We cover the synthesis workflow using Vivado or Quartus to run your design on real hardware.
