Exactly how and what it compiles is beyond the scope of this Instructable, but suffice it to say that both examples will result in pretty much the same netlist and program file. The compiler again works its magic and compiles a file that the chip can understand. In this example, we have explicitly told the compiler exactly how we want the input data to be logically processed. the logic, it would be difficult at best to know what exactly is going on Here we see the use of several logic gate structures.

Here is the same full adder, but described structurally: // Verilog example of a structural design In contrast, structural design is an explicit description of the exact logic required to process the input data correctly. The S and Cout bits are assigned to the respective bits in 'sum'. The compiler understands what "+" means and builds a binary adder to perform the task. When you add three bits, the largest value you can get is decimal 3, or binary 11, so we need the 'sum' value as a two-bit placeholder for the summed bits. Note the absence of any logic declarations like "AND" or "&". The next line makes it clear what we have. Here is an example of a two-bit full adder with carry-in: // Verilog example of a behavioral design In a behavioral design, you simply tell the compiler what you want to do and it will work it's magic in the background and compile the code in a way that the chip can understand it. You can even use both methods in the same project if you wish with no issues.

These methods are not language specific, but are instead conceptual methods of thinking of how to write the code. Within most of these HDL languages there are two different schools of thought used to write the code for the project, structural or behavioral. Now that all of the correct programs and associated files are installed, let's get to programming some logic.Ĭode for FPGA chips is written in one of several hardware description languages, with the two most common being VHDL or Verilog. Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the install.

This will install Digilent Adept, if needed. Once the install is complete, be sure to restart your computer.Īfter restarting, navigate to "C:\NIFPGA\programs\Vivado2014_4\data\xicom\cable_drivers\nt64\digilent" on your hard drive and run the "install_digilent.exe" file. Get some popcorn while you watch the progress bar. Accept any that show up then click "Next".Īccept the 3 License Agreements and click "Next".Ĭlick "Next" again to begin installation.

The software will do a quick search for any updates.

Double click on Setup.Ĭlick on "Next" and then enter one of the serial numbers that came with your install materials. If the *.iso file does not auto-mount then double click on it to open it from your default Downloads folder. I used the "Browser Download" option without a physical optical drive in my machine and it worked perfectly fine. The "Browser Download" option downloads the installer as a *.iso image file, which will then auto-mount itself in your optical drive. The recommended "NI Download Manager" option installs a small downloader program that will then download the installer. Click on NI LabVIEW FPGA Vivado 2014.4 to go to the download page for the tool module. In order to correctly link Multisim with Vivado, you need to install the FPGA tool. I will walk through the same steps, but with more pictures and clarity. The rest of the process is outlined in an NI white paper tutorial that may help. I'll only focus on Vivado in this I'ble, so I leave it to you to ensure you have the correct ISE specific files. You will also need one of Digilent's newer FPGA boards built around the Artix-7 chip.īe aware that this same process can be applied to Digilent's older FPGA boards built around the Spartan-6 chip, but you'll need to have Xilinx's older ISE environment installed. Be sure to move LabVIEW 2016 before you try and open it to avoid any possible issues. I don't know if this is absolutely necessary as I didn't try it before to find out. Since Multisim and LabVIEW need to talk to each other, I moved the LabVIEW directory into "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments" to ensure that they could. Note that when I installed LabVIEW 2016, it installed into "C:\Program Files\National Instruments" and not "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments". Be sure to restart your computer after each program is finished installing. Install LabVIEW first as some of Multisim's files need LabVIEW to already be installed if you want them to talk to each other. Multisim 14.0 or higher (click here for more Multisim info and to download from NI) LabVIEW 2014 or higher (click here for more LabVIEW info and to download from NI) In order to make this work, you will need to have several programs installed and working on your computer.
