● Xilinx FPGA board for full hardware practice (recommended)
Description
"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."
In this course, you will build a complete UART project on FPGA using two practical approaches.
First, you will implement UART directly in Verilog/SystemVerilog with your own transmitter and receiver logic. You will design finite state machines, generate baud ticks, handle parity, and verify loopback behavior.
Second, you will build a processor-based system using MicroBlaze and AXI UART Lite in Vivado and Vitis. You will create block designs, generate the platform, write loopback software in C, and connect software behavior to hardware registers.
By the end, you will understand when to choose custom RTL and when to choose processor-based design, based on timing requirements, flexibility, and development speed.
What Makes This Course Different
• Two full implementation paths for the same UART problem
• Clear comparison between RTL and MicroBlaze approaches
• Co-simulation flow combining .elf software and RTL hardware
• Real FPGA hardware test and debugger-based verification
• Practical troubleshooting checklists for common issues
