Using VHDL to Improve an FPGA Based Educational Microcomputer
Ivan Mezei, Veljko Malbaša · 2005
In this paper, we present implementation of an educational microcomputer named Edulent. Schematic and VHDL design entry versions are compared. Microcomputer is designed to be implemented in any medium complexity programmable logic integrated circuit. It is tested on development board based on Xilinx SpartanIIE family FPGA chip, that is connected to personal computer. Software support running on personal computer is developed and consists of all necessary modules to operate such an educational microcomputer. Some of the hardware and software implementation details are presented
