The primary purpose of this investigation was to get a deeper understanding of FPGA hardware description languages and to apply that knowledge in a product that has practical applications. After some investigating, the hardware description language that would be used for the product would be Verilog. The product that would be used to demonstrate the application of the Verilog hardware description language is a portable generator, which has the means of controlling the engine speed and the frequency from the alternator. Once the language was chosen, a block diagram was made of the various programs to determine the flow of logic signals. Then within each block, another block diagram was created to show the flow of logic signals. From this level, a program was created for each block. Then the blocks were connected to each other. Finally, the LED's on the prototyping circuit board along with other test equipment such as an oscilloscope were used for troubleshooting to ensure proper operation of the programs. From this investigation, it has been learned that the FPGA hardware description languages do not have some of the easy debugging tools found in other programming languages such as "C". This made the troubleshooting process more challenging and time consuming. On the other hand, this technology demonstrated how flexible and powerful it could be. As an example, the program can be designed using written code, individual logic symbols, complete computer chip symbols or a mixture of all three.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .W77 2011 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
