Lab 5: Have Fun
Requirements for lab assignments
In this lab, design something fun.
Exercise
Experiment with memory (lpm_ram_dq).
Lab
Design a digital system that is entertaining to use, or at least entertaining
to design. Don't put more time into this than a regular lab would
take.
You may make use of VHDL code found in past projects
or elsewhere providing that acknowledgment is made and your own contribution
contribution is significant.
Hand in the regular requirements plus:
-
An explanation of what your design does.
-
Simulation
-
Find the maximum speed. Describe the critical path. What would
you do differently if your design had to be clocked faster?
Here are some random suggestions:
-
A reaction time tester
-
A "music chip" like the ones found in greeting cards that play "happy birthday"
when opened
-
Something that generates video (e.g. a "screen saver")
