Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to design a new native FPGA circuit board with the necessary hardware elements in order to realize the basic digital applications and designs in the field of engineering on a real-time FPGA-based basis. In order to reduce the cost of the FPGA development board, the hardware on it is kept to a minimum. Altium PCB Design Software & Tools program was used in the electronic circuit drawings of the FPGA development board. In order to test the designed FPGA development board, sample digital system design projects were coded in VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) language with Xilinx ISE Design Tools program. The bitstream files obtained after the Place-Route process of the sample digital system design projects were loaded onto the FPGA chip with the JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) interface. After the installation process, it has been observed that the sample digital system design projects work successfully on the FPGA development board. With the design presented in this study, a domestic FPGA development board that can be used in engineering education and applications with a lower cost as an alternative to the FPGA development boards that are currently used with very high costs by being imported from abroad has been successfully developed.

YENİ BİR FPGA GELİŞTİRME KARTI TASARIMI VE UYGULAMASI

Abstract

Sunulan bu çalışmada, üzerinde mühendislik alanındaki temel sayısal uygulama ve tasarımların gerçek zamanlı FPGA tabanlı olarak gerçekleştirilebilmesi için gerekli donanım elemanlarına sahip yeni bir yerli FPGA devre kartı tasarlanmıştır. FPGA geliştirme kartının maliyetinin düşürülmesi amacı ile üzerindeki donanım minimum seviyede tutulmuştur. FPGA geliştirme kartının elektronik devre çizimlerinde Altium PCB Design Software & Tools programı kullanılmıştır. Tasarlanan FPGA geliştirme kartının test edilebilmesi amacı ile Xilinx ISE Design Tools programı ile VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language-Çok Yüksek Hızlı Tümleşik Devre Donanımı Tanımlama Dili) dilinde örnek sayısal sistem tasarımı projeleri kodlanmıştır. Örnek sayısal sistem tasarımı projelerinin Place-Route işleminin ardından elde edilen bitstream dosyaları JTAG (Joint Test Action Group (Ortak Test Eylem Grubu)) ara yüzü ile FPGA çipine yüklenmiştir. Yükleme işleminin ardından örnek sayısal sistem tasarımı projelerinin FPGA geliştirme kartı üzerinde başarılı bir şekilde çalıştığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada sunulan tasarım ile hali hazırda dışa bağımlı bir şekilde yurtdışından temin edilerek çok yüksek maliyetler ile kullanılan FPGA geliştirme kartlarına alternatif olarak daha düşük maliyet ile mühendislik eğitim ve uygulamalarında kullanılabilecek yerli bir FPGA geliştirme kartı başarılı bir şekilde gerçekleştirilmiştir.
