Timely, authoritative, application-oriented. an in-depth exploration of current and future uses of FPGAs in digital systems The development of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) may well be the most important breakthrough for the microelectronics industry since the invention of the microprocessor. Using FPGAs, a system designer working on a PC can now develop a working prototype in a few hours and change it at will in just a few minutes, rather than waiting weeks or months for a printed-circuit assembly or a custom integrated circuit to be built. This newfound ability to change a system by simply altering its configuration memory is also leading to exciting new forms of computing, such as array applications that exploit parallelism. Now in a book that functions equally well as a working professional reference and a pedagogically consistent computer engineering text, John V. Oldfield and Richard C. Dorf:
* Provide a detailed overview of FPGAs in digital systems design
* Explain the underlying principles, strengths, and limitations of most FPGA architectures
* Supply many real-life case studies, from elementary to advanced applications–including examples of “custom computing machines”
* Review cutting-edge developments, including new architectures and a new field-programmable interconnect chip
* Discuss key economic and business aspects of FPGA manufacture and applications and their role in intellectual property protection
* Demonstrate ways in which FPGAs offer plausible solutions to some of the major computing problems of our day

Product Description
Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems, Second Edition provides an exciting and challenging laboratory component for an undergraduate digital logic design class. The more advanced topics and exercises are also appropriate for consideration at schools that have an upper level course in digital logic or programmable logic.
Design engineers working in industry will also want to consider this book for a rapid introduction to FPLD technology and logic synthesis using commercial CAD tools, especially if they have not had previous experience with the new and rapidly evolving technology.
Two tutorials on the Altera CAD tool environment, an overview of programmable logic, and a design library with several easy-to-use input and output functions were developed for this book to help the reader get started quickly. Early design examples use schematic capture and library components. VHDL is used for more complex designs after a short introduction to VHDL-based synthesis.
The second edition of the text now includes Altera’s 10.1 student edition software which adds support for Windows 2000 and designs that are three times larger using the new 70,000 gate UP 1X board. All designs in the book’s CD-Rom have been updated to work with the original UP 1 board or the newer UP 1X board using the new Altera student version software. A coupon is included with the text for purchase of the new UP 1X board. The additional logic and memory in the UP 1X’s FLEX 10K70 is useful on larger design projects such as computers and video games.
In addition to the new software, the second edition includes an update chapter on programmable logic, new robot sensors and projects, optional Verilog examples, and a meta assembler which can be used to develop assemble language programs for the computer designs in Chapters 8 and 13.

Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems: Quartus II Edition provides an exciting and challenging laboratory component for undergraduate digital logic and computer design courses using FPGAs and CAD tools for simulation and hardware implementation. The more advanced topics and exercises also make this text useful for upper level courses in digital logic, programmable logic, and embedded systems. This new version of the widely used Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems, Second Edition, now uses Altera’s new Quartus II CAD tool and includes laboratory projects for Altera’s UP 2 and the new UP 3 FPGA board. Student laboratory projects provided on the book’s CD-ROM include video graphics and text, mouse and keyboard input, and three computer designs.

Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems: Quartus II Edition includes four tutorials on the Altera Quartus II and NIOS II tool environment, an overview of programmable logic, and IP cores with several easy-to-use input and output functions. These features were developed to help students get started quickly. Early design examples use schematic capture and IP cores developed for the Altera UP FPGA boards. VHDL is used for more complex designs after a short introduction to VHDL-based synthesis. New to this edition is an overview of System-on-a-Programmable Chip (SOPC) technology and SOPC design examples for the UP3 using Altera’s new NIOS II Processor hardware and C software development tools. A full set of Altera’s FPGA CAD tools is included on the book’s CD-ROM.

Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems: Quartus® II Edition

Product Description

New to this edition is an introduction to embedded operating systems for SOPC designs.  The µClinux OS is configured for Altera’s DE1 and DE2 boards and is provided on a DVD along with several application programs.

Featuring four accelerated tutorials on the Quartus II and Nios II design environments, this edition progresses from introductory programmable logic to full-scale SOPC design integrating hardware implementation, software development, operating system support, state-of-the-art I/O, and IP cores.

This edition features Altera’s new 7.1 Quartus II CAD and Nios II SOPC tools and includes projects for Altera’s DE1, DE2, UP3, UP2, and UP1 FPGA development boards.

Laboratory projects provided on the book’s DVD include complete projects for video graphics and text, mouse and keyboard input, and three separate computer examples including a Nios II “reference” design for the DE2, DE1, and UP3 FPGA boards.
