VHDL tutorial

FPGA programming using a hardware description language is not a commonly taught skill in physics programs, but is a necessary skill for designing the electronics required for this project. This tutorial aims to layout the design process and teach the basics of VHDL.

\frac{1}{2} This is a code box... I think

\frac{1}{2} This is outside a code box or a math region.

VHDL Logic States

• U: uninitialized
• X: forcing unknown
• 0: forcing 0
• 1: forcing 1
• Z: high impedance
• W: weak unknown
• L: weak 0
• H: weak 1
• -: don't care
