As a newbie to FPGA, i have been searching for different ways to access the DDR3 RAM on the Arty A7-35 board. The solution seems to be to use MicroBlaze, Vitis or the SDK. My project involves using the VGA PMOD. I would like to create a VGA controller that uses the DDR3 memory as a double buffer. My question is, if i want to use verilog code to update one of the buffers, how do i do this if i use MicroBlaze but do not want to use vitis (i.e. i want to use vivado).

Tutorial 4 This is the fourth part of my tutorial and I have attached the associated files / welcome any suggestions or comments (in particular the VGA Controller as mentioned in the tutorial). Tutorial4 Files.zip

Tutorial 2 This is the second part of my tutorial for creating the "BeeInvaders" game. I have attached Tutorial 2, the associated files and welcome any suggestions. Tutorial2 Basys 3.pdf Sprite Sheet.xcf Top.v vga640x480.v BeeSprite.v BeeRom.v Bee.mem

Tutorial 1 This is the first part of a tutorial for creating a game called "BeeInvaders" on the Basys3 board. It will require connecting the board to a VGA screen or monitor to test each tutorial. I have attached Tutorial 1 / the Verilog code files and would welcome any suggestions to improve the code, along with details of any testbenches. Hope this is helpful to anyone who is new to FPGA.
