Short tutorial on design with Spartan3 FPGA

Software: Xilinx ISE 10.1

Design entry: Schematic diagram

This tutorial shows how to create schematic diagram, simulate, implement (without synthesis - implementation is started from EDIF file generated directly from schematic diagram ) and program a circuit into prototype board made by Digilent Corporation with Spartan 3 FPGA XC3S200 from Xilinx:

1. Creating new design
2. Creating new schematic diagram
3. Working with schematic diagram editor
4. Simulating a design
5. Implementation
6. Programming FPGA

Design entry: HDL Language

This tutorial shows how to create HDL code and then simulate, synthesize, implement and program a circuit into prototype board made by Digilent Corporation with Spartan 3 FPGA XC3S200 from Xilinx:

1. Creating new design
2. Writing HDL code
3. Simulating a design
4. Implementation
5. Programming FPGA
