Each participant will receive an Altera/Intel Cyclone IV EP4CE6 FPGA development board and will be guided step-by-step through sett ing up the development environment\, creating a project using Quartus Prim e Lite\, compiling a simple digital design\, assigning FPGA pins\, and pro gramming the FPGA using a USB Blaster. Participants will interact directly with the board’s onboard LEDs\, push buttons\, clock\, and other interf aces to understand how HDL designs are translated into working hardware. T he workshop requires no prior FPGA experience and emphasizes learning by d oing\, giving every participant the opportunity to successfully configure and program their own FPGA board and build a strong foundation for more ad vanced FPGA\, embedded-system\, and digital-design projects.\n\nSpeaker(s) : Yuvaraj Elangovan\n\nTBD\, Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, United States LOCATION:TBD\, Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, United States ORGANIZER:yue8@pitt.edu SEQUENCE:27 SUMMARY:Hands-On FPGA Workshop for Beginners URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/571406 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>This hands-on <strong>FPGA Workshop for Be ginners</strong> is designed to introduce students and early-career engine ers to the fundamentals of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and digi tal hardware design through practical experimentation.
