Description

Basic introduction into fpgas (and digital logic). This will have a lot of new stuff if you are a total begginer, you'll have to study abit to keep up :)

The plan is to have 3 introductory sessions, and then get into more hands on things. Hopefully we'll have our own (tiny and minimal) working cpu by the end of this !

The schedule will be adapted as we go on -- this is a rough plan

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

  • Basic understanding of programming
  • Basic knowledge of git (http://githowto.com/ can help you, we'll use git for examples and collaborating)
  • Github account (We'll host our stuff there)
  • A laptop (We do have some some spare computers in hackerspace, but you'll need to work on your own at home)

Doodle pool for date selection

http://www.doodle.com/yp99tnvzvq7ygwmy#table -> Begining Tuesday, May 28, 2013 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM, and generally Tuesdays 7 - 9
