Getting Started with FPGAs

This course is for computer engineers, hobbyists, and dedicated makers who want to learn FPGA technology. This course teaches you how to set up, design, and build digital circuits using a low-cost FPGA board and Xilinx Integrated Synthesis Environment. It also introduces Verilog HDL (hardware descriptions language), which is a specialized computer language that describes the structure and behavior digital logic circuits. This course is hands-on and you will build simple breadboard circuits. You can then use them to test your FPGA logic designs.

Tri-Tech Pathways is led by David Romano. It offers STEM education with a real-world perspective to K12 students across North America. David has been working in high-tech engineering for more than 25 years at some of the most prestigious companies such as Raytheon Motorola, HP, HP, and Intel. He is an active member of Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA), holds a BS degree in Electrical Engineering and is the author of Maker Media title Make: FPGAs.
