FPGA

If you’ve ever tried to build a microprocessor from scratch, you know it’s a battlefield full of hazards, memory control, and instruction handling. A true digital mess. In the middle of that chaos, I came across a tool that completely changed the way I see FPGA development: LiteX. What is LiteX? LiteX is a framework for designing SoCs (System on Chip) on FPGA, transforming the process into something like assembling LEGO blocks: you pick a processor, add controllers, memory, peripherals, and done!...

HDMI output on FPGA platforms is a powerful way to generate real-time graphics directly from custom hardware. In this article, we’ll explore how to implement HDMI output using the LiteX framework on the Tang Nano 9K, a low-cost FPGA with impressive versatility. I’ve already written a guide on how to get started with LiteX and build a basic SoC in the previous post. 🧱 HDMI Architecture in LiteX By default, the tangnano9k....
