A FPGA Paint Brush Application
V.W. Edwards, Michael Courtney, Kuo-pao Yang · 2008
This paper describes a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) paint program similar to the one found on the Windows operating system. This paint brush application uses a modern educational kit that has recently been available for Computer Science hardware courses. The educational package employs state-of-the-art technology in both hardware and software. This new technology is currently being used in many universities and many electronic commercial products. With an integrated design environment and its reconfigurable capabilities on the board where hardware can be changed on the fly, we implement the system-on-chip application and immediately see execution results. Further development of this program can lead to a more complex and sophisticated application.
