Implementing UART on FPGA

Name: Implementing UART on FPGA
Price: 27500 KRW
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

UART is the most basic and widely utilized serial communication method, making it a very suitable learning topic for beginners new to FPGA design. In this course, we will thoroughly understand the communication principles and frame structure of UART, and based on this, we will proceed with directly implementing transmit/receive logic through RTL (Register Transfer Level) design. By implementing UART on an FPGA, you can systematically develop your digital circuit design skills and gain experience verifying its operation at the actual hardware level through simulation and verification. Furthermore, by learning the method utilizing the MicroBlaze soft processor and Xilinx UART IP, you will gain a broad understanding of processor-based system design flow and interface configuration. This will enable you to acquire comprehensive development capabilities encompassing both logic design and processor design.

Implementation Method Using MicroBlaze Processor and UART IP
Simulation verification and Hardware verification

UART(Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) is the most fundamental and widely used serial communication method in practical applications. Particularly for beginners learning FPGA-based digital design, UART serves as a very useful learning topic due to its simple structure and clear implementation.

In this course, we will theoretically learn about UART communication principles, data frame structure, and the role of parity bits, then based on this knowledge, directly implement transmitters and receivers through RTL (Register Transfer Level) design. We will systematically cover the process of analyzing UART frame components from Start Bit to Data Bit, Parity Bit, and Stop Bit through waveform simulation and connecting them to actual hardware operations.

Additionally, this course goes beyond basic UART design and extends to advanced implementation methods using MicroBlaze, Xilinx FPGA's Soft Processor, and UART IP. Through this, you can experience not only hardware-based logic design but also peripheral configuration and operating principles in processor-based systems, enabling you to develop practical embedded design skills.

Through hands-on practice of transmitting and receiving serial communication data, you will learn various digital design techniques including error detection (parity check), state transitions (FSM), and Baud Rate configuration. Additionally, the focus is on developing design intuition by following the entire FPGA development process, including writing RTL code based on Verilog/SystemVerilog, building testbenches, simulation verification, and hardware downloading.

This course is structured around hands-on practice so that even those without FPGA design experience can follow along, and by directly designing and visually confirming the transmission flow of UART frames, you can naturally acquire the core principles of digital communication structures. Upon completion of the course, students will not only be able to implement UART transmission and reception logic in RTL, but also gain an understanding of processor-centric system architecture through the MicroBlaze-based design flow.

FPGA는 전통적인 반도체 설계 과정과 달리, 쉽고 빠르게 설계를 구현할 수 있는 장점을 가진 디바이스입니다. 디자인 소스만 있으면, FPGA의 논리 요소를 활용하여, 즉시 배치 및 연결이 가능합니다. 또한, 하드웨어적인 성격이 강하기 때문에 코드 역시 복잡하지 않고 직관적으로 작성할 수 있습니다.
중요한 것은 FPGA의 설계 개념과 Flow를 이해하며, 나아가서는 설계 목적과 대상에 대해 이해를 하는 것입니다. 이를 바탕으로 디자인 소스의 구조를 최적화하고, 알맞은 제약조건을 입력해 안정적인 FPGA를 설계하는 것이 핵심입니다.
강의에서는 코딩보다는 FPGA 설계 개념과 구조, 설계 방식 및 Flow를 중심으로 구성되며, Step-by-Step 실습 위주의 내용을 담을 것 입니다. 직접 구현하고 실습하며 노하우를 쌓아가는 것이 FPGA 엔지니어의 핵심이며, 앞으로 AI로 대체될 코딩 보다 더 큰 가치가 될 것입니다.
10+ 경력의 FPGA 및 하드웨어 설계 전문가로, 고속 데이터 처리 및 통신 시스템 설계, 영상 처리 등에 특화되어 있으며, 다양한 FPGA 프로젝트에 참여.
