Interfacing (RAM) Onboard M4K memory blocks of Cyclone II Altera De1 board

This code shows how to store or interface the SRAM with any of your code. You can integrate this code in your projects for storing data. I will upload the interface of RAM with RTC code I designed for storing Date.

In this code I used the on-board M4K memory blocks on Altera DE1 board as RAM in 32 words i.e. 32 address locations of 4-bit. The RAM is initialized through Altera's MegaFunction IP Library. Comment if you don't know how to initialize RAM on any Altera board. I stored some variables like 2,4,6,8 on some starting locations to check if its working. I also added feature of manual address incrementation and data i/p.



For manual data entry you have to use four switches on Altera De1 board viz.
  • SW0 --LSB
  • SW1
  • SW2
  • SW3 --MSB
To write data press KEY3 and to increment address location press KEY0.

Read operation will be done Automatically, as I have interfaced the BCD to 7SEG (modified seg7.vhd in my previous posts) decoder directly to data out of RAM. You will get to see the stored digit on 7Seg display no.1.

You can directly interface the write enable, I/P and O/P of data and address in your code with only some minor changes.

If you have any qurries feel free to Comment directly on post instead of mailing me so other people will also get some help from it. You still can mail me your querries and Ideas at prasadp4009@gmail.com.

  1. Can you add your top module that sets up the buttons and calls the entity?

VHDL code for Clock Divider

This is a clock divider code, just set the max-count value as per your requirenment. For ex. If I want 1Hz freq. set the max count to i/p freq value viz. 1sec = 1Hz Then, to get time period of 1sec i.e. 1 Hz frequency set max-count to 240000 as shown below: 1sec  =  24000000  -- for i/p frequency of 24 MHz. To get your desired frequency just calculate the maxcount with the formula given below: max_count = 24000000 * (1/your required frequency) CODE: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 library IEEE ; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL ; use IEEE.numeric_std.all ; entity clk_div is Port ( Clk : in std_logic ; rst : in std_logic ; op : out std_logic ); end clk_div ; architecture behavioral of clk_div is constant max_count : natural := 24000000 ; -- I used 24MHz clock ...

RTC on FPGA with manual set synthesizeble VHDL code.

Hey there, cheers to VHDL. I successfully added manual set feature in my previous RTC project. I am not going to copy whole code here. I am just adding the links of .vhd files. I also added the pre-compiled .sof file only for DE1 boards. There is a very small bug that while clicking the set button to enable min and hr set, it increments the hr or min value unintentionally. Else everything is working great. ( Input freq 24MHz ., top-level entity DigiClock )

PONG Game in VHDL

Hello Everybody . So after getting so many requests about PONG, I made it OPEN-SOURCE now. Its my first game and completely working. I have uploaded the video already, you can check it on youtube. I have compiled the project, for DE1 board users a pre-compiled file is with name Ballm.sof. All the vhdl files required are given, the system clock frequency is 50MHz. A PLL is used for generation of 25MHz as clock to VGAsync. (I have added modified VGAS_DE2 file for DE2 users whose VGA controller has "blank" pin.) So Enjoy PONG then. And yes donate me if you like my projects. In India the paypal Donate facility is disabled so you can send on my mail prasadp4009@gmail.com if you wish to. If you face any problems working with codes, feel free to mail me at prasadp4009@gmail.com More projects on way. Enjoy Programming..!! The game files are as below. Compiled file for DE1 users: Ballm.sof Top level entity: PONG.vhd Component files: sec_clk.vhd , seg7.vhd , manu_clk....
