Digital Circuits materials

[JColvin]

A customer on our website asked the following question:

I will be teaching a Digital Circuits (undergraduate) course in the Fall semester and I need all the help I can get. We will be using 'Diligent NexyS4 Artix-7 FPGA board and Xilinx_ISE 14.7. Could you inform as to where I might find tutorials and other materials that would be useful to someone who is starting from scratch with Xilinx? I would like to start with simple circuits.
Regards,

The response is below.

Hello,

You can find a number of tutorials for FPGAs and ISE for introductory  on our Learn site here: https://learn.digilentinc.com/list?category=Digital.

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks,
JColvin

Hold on ... the 7-series parts need to be programmed and configured with Vivado, not ISE.  You might wish to look up a Vivado tutorial instead of an ISE tutorial,

The Nexys 4 (the non-DDR version) with it's XC7A100T is actually targetable by both Vivado and ISE (surprisingly). It definitely threw me off for awhile since I thought 7-series were only target-able by Vivado as well. Funky, but true.

As a side note, Digilent also has a similar set of Vivado tutorials like our ISE tutorials in addition to the materials that Dan linked to as well.

Thanks,
JColvin
