Hi, I am a 2nd-year ee student, and I need to make a term Project. With BAS=
YS3 by using VHDL.

My purpose is constructing a car which can be controlled with the buttons o=
n BASYS3 ( I think I need Bluetooth module for it to RC a car). In addition=
 to that my car should stop when it sees red ( i think I should use a color=
 sensor for it) and should not work until it sees a green. These =E2=80=9Cr=
ed=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Cgreen=E2=80=9D can be anything like green cubic to=
ys.
This color sensor does not have to be mounted on the car, but it would be b=
etter if it is.

I have very little information about basys3, vhdl, sensor design, etc. (thi=
s is my first course in ee I was learning principle courses like math, phy,=
 cs )

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Hello Folks,

I wanted to Implement Modbus Slave protocol with the use of only FPGA, without use of any external or internal softcore,Hardcore. 

Currently i have successfully Implemented Modbus Master protcol, Now I am Looking forward  to bulit Modbus Slave as well.

For Implementation Of Modbus Slave I am currently using Spartan6 FPGA and ISE 14.7 for For coding In VHDl.

I want some help to know how should I start with Implementation,Coding n all.
If possible share any document links as well.

Again I don't want to use any softcore so please suggest answers related to given FPGA only, Thanks.

I don't understand your problem.  If you have implemented a Modbus master, it would seem that you should understand it well enough to implement the slave as well.  

Do you have any specific questions?

I never designed slave before i have worked on master parts mostly. 
While designing for modbus slave which parameters should i should take into accounts. 
If somebody can explain the FSM flow? it would be great help.

First it calculates CRC and stores in register. Then i wrote FSM accordingl=
y it first send slave address then function code, Data and at last CRC calc=
ulated. i used r232 UART communication hence i send all the packets via UAR=
T communication at 19200 baud rate.
according to clock i adjusted my t1.5 and t3.5 timer to match timing in acc=
ordance modbus slandered protocol.
i checked output using slave simulator it works.

As you don't appear to understand it at all, I'm guessing you copied the 
Modbus master design from elsewhere as well.
How does the slave simulator work? You might find a few clues in that.

Based on that info I'm pretty sure I could design a slave.  I'm not sure wh=
at you mean by t1.5 and t3.5, but otherwise it seems pretty simple.  What d=
on't you understand about designing the slave?=20

One of the things I learned in computer programming was a good start to org=
anizing your program is to determine what data structures your program will=
 need.  HDL is not different.  The data structures will be the registers ho=
lding the data.  You will need a UART receiver with a receiving register bu=
t might not need the holding register since I expect all the other register=
s can always be available when the data comes in. =20

Then you will need an address register or... if the address is only to sele=
ct this slave and not to select destinations in the slave you can use a sta=
te machine to recognize a match to the address.  Likewise the function code=
 can be held in a register or matched with a state machine.  Finally you wi=
ll need a register for the data and the register to calculate the CRC of th=
e received message which will be matched to the incoming CRC when it arrive=
s.  I suppose you should also have a state machine to organize the overall =
operation of these circuits. =20

What is not clear to me is what happens to the data when it is received.  Y=
ou will need an output to indicate there is a valid output and possibly a h=
and shake back saying the data was accepted.=20

Does that make sense?=20

I suspect the answer will be 'No' but never discount the obvious, so don't =
be offended: While implementing the master did you write a test bench to ve=
rify it? After all, the test bench for the master for any protocol is (or c=
ould be) the slave, and vice versa. Even if that test bench is not synthesi=

Yes, I talked to Xilinx.  They said they didn't keep any of the software 
updates, just the base versions of their software.  They were very nice 
and helpful, but just didn't keep the files.  Seems strange to me for a 
corporation to discard intellectual property, but I believe them. 
Stranger things have happened.

Luckily, they put the service packs updates on their APPLINX CDs from 
the time.  I was able to find an ISO image of one from 1997 and it has 
the Foundation service pack files.

Now I just need to find XABEL-CPLD from 1997...Anyone have that CD? 
Xilinx kept no copies according to them.

That was me Rick.  I still have the CDs if anyone needs images of them. 
The Foundation update I was looking for was pre-M1.3 which is the 
earliest of the ones you sent me.  M1.3 and M1.4 support the chips I 
use, but was looking to complete the last Foundation series updates 
before the "M" series.

Still need to find XABEL-CPLD which was only released on CD and 
supported the XC7000 series of chips.  Xilinx tells me they have kept no 
copies of this legacy software!

Are you familiar with finite state machines (FSM)?  I think FSM will be the=
 best circuit for this task since you want it to remember which color it la=
st saw. =20

The inputs to the FSM will need to come from a much more complex circuit th=
at reads the state of the color sensor via I2C and makes a decision as to t=
he color it is seeing.  This will need to pick three states of the input co=
lor, red, green and neither. =20

To get the color data to make these decisions will require a controller cir=
cuit to read the registers in the chip.  Looking at the data sheet it looks=
 like this is not completely straight forward but requires a sequence of op=
erations to make the chip sample the light through ADCs.  So you should mak=
e sure you understand this process.  You may want to read the library code =
to see the sequence of operations implemented there while correlating that =
with the data sheet. =20

So read the data sheet, look at the code and make sure you understand what =
is required to get the data out of the color sensor.  Once you design that =
circuit you can try testing it by just driving I/O lines with the data valu=
es and looking at them on the oscilloscope.  If you pump the samples out se=
rially, you can see it on the oscilloscope with the low order bits toggling=
 furiously but the higher order bits fairly stable but changing as you chan=
ge colors. =20

When you think you are reading the color chip correctly, add the circuit to=
 weight the values and produce the two signals "red" and "green".  See if y=
ou can get these to work. =20

I would say you should construct a test bench and simulate it, but explaini=
ng to you how to construct a model of the color chip might be more than you=
 can do.  If you think you can do that, the test bench would be much better=
 than working on the actually FPGA because you can "see" any signal in the =
design.=20

If it is going to appeal to software developers, you need C.  And it has
to be reasonable, standard C, even if it is for small devices -
programmers are fed up with the pains needed for special device-specific
C on 8051, AVR, PIC, etc.  That does not necessarily mean it has to be
fast, but it should work with standard language.  Having 16-bit size
rather than 8-bit size makes a huge difference to how programmers feel
about the device - aim for something like the msp430.

You might, however, want to look at extensions for CSP-style
communication between cpus - something like XMOS XC.

If it is to appeal to hardware (FPGA) developers, C might not be as
essential.  Some other kind of high level language, perhaps centred
around state machines, might work.

But when I see "extensible, simple to use and potentially interactive",
I fear someone is thinking of Forth.  People who are very used to Forth
find it a great language - but you need to understand that /nobody/
wants to learn it.  Most programmers would rather work in assembler than
Forth.  You can argue that this attitude is irrational, and that Forth

Certainly this would be like Forth, but the reality is I'm thinking of a Fo=

The F18A stack processor designed by Charles Moore is used in the GA144 chi=
p.  There are 144 of them with unusual interconnections that allow the CPU =
to halt waiting for communications, saving power.  The CPU is so small that=
 it could be included in an FPGA as what would be equivalent to a logic ele=

 a high level language like C.  The code in them would be small enough to b=

People have mindsets about things and I believe this is one of them.  The G=

The problem this boils down to is programmability.

If you have a small core, you can therefore have lots of them.  But writing
software for and managing dozens or hundreds of cores is troublesome.  At
this level, you have enough headache with the inter-core communication that
you'd rather not throw a strange assembler-only core architecture into the
mix.  A core like this would need a simple inter-core programming model so
it's easy to reason about system behaviour (example: systolic arrays)

There's a certain merit in having a CPU as a building block, like a LAB,
BRAM or DSP block.  I'm not familiar with the literature in this space, but
it's the sort of thing that turns up at the 'FPGA' conference regularly
(keyword: CGRA).  That merely punts the issue to now being a tools problem -
the tools know how to make use of a DSP block, but how to make use of a CPU
block?  How to turn HDL into 'software'?  Can you chain the blocks together
to make wider logic?

I suppose there's also a niche at the ultra-cheap end of the spectrum - for
$1 gadgets with an 8051 because a 16 bit CPU would be too expensive (and a
Cortex M0 would have licence fees).  But if this is an ASIC then I don't
think there's a whole lot more to pay to get a C-compatible processor (even
in 8 bits).  And it's unclear how much speed penalty you'd pay for that.

How much code/data memory would you expect to have?  Would that dwarf the
size of your core?

Finally I can see the use as a 'state machine implementation engine' for say
a CPLD.  But for that you need tools (taking HDL or state-transition diagrams)
to allow the programmer to describe their state machine.  And your
competition is the regular HDL synthesiser which will just make it out of
flip flops.  I'm unclear how often you'd win in these circumstances.

And I can't really see 'interactive' as a feature - either you have only one
core, in which case you could equally hook up JTAG (or equivalent) to
something larger for interactive debugging, or you have many cores, in which
case I can't see how you'd interact sensibly with dozens at once.

Who cares about yet another processor programmed in the same
old language. It would not have a *U*SP. In fact it would be
"back to the 80s" :)

However, if you want to make it interesting enough to pass
the elevator test, ensure it can do things that existing
systems find difficult.

You should have a look at how the XMOS hardware and software
complement each other, so that the combination allows hard
real time operation programming in multicore systems. (Hard
means guaranteed-by-design latencies between successive i/o
activities)

I appreciate that.

I can only tell you how /I/ would feel here, and let you use that for
what you think it is worth.  I don't claim to speak for all software
developers, but unless other people are giving you feedback too, then
this is the best you've got :-)  Remember, I am not trying to argue
about the pros and cons of different designs or languages, or challenge
you to persuade me of anything - I'm just showing you how software
developers might react to your design ideas.

Yes, but look how popular the chip is - it is barely a blip in the
landscape.  There is no doubt that this is a technologically fascinating
device.  However, it is very difficult to program such chips - almost no
one is experienced with such multi-cpu arrangements, and the design
requires a completely different way of thinking from existing software
design.  Add to that a language that works backwards, and a syntax that
looks like the cat walked across the keyboard, and you have something
that has programmers running away.

My experience with Forth is small and outdated, but not non-existent.
I've worked with dozens of programming languages over the years - I've
studied CSP, programmed in Occam, functional programming languages, lots
of assemblies, a small amount of CPLD/FPGA work in various languages,
and many other kinds of coding.  (Most of my work for the past years has
been C, C++ and Python.)  I'm not afraid of learning new things.  But
when I looked at some of the examples for the GA144, three things struck
me.  One is that it was amazing how much they got on the device.
Another is to wonder about the limitations you get from the this sort of
architecture.  (That is a big turn-off with the XMOS.  It's
fantastically easy to make nice software-based peripherals using
hardware threads.  And fantastically easy to run out of hardware threads
before you've made the basic peripherals you get in a $0.50
microcontroller.)  And the third thing that comes across is how totally
and utterly incomprehensible the software design and the programming
examples are.  The GA144 is squarely in the category of technology that
is cool, impressive, and useless in the real world where developers have
to do a job, not play with toys.

Sure, it would be possible to learn this.  But there is no way I could
justify the investment in time and effort that would entail.

And there is no way I would want to go to a language with less safety,
poorer typing, weaker tools, harder testing, more limited static
checking than the development tools I can use now with C and C++.

The modern way to use the DSP blocks on FPGA's is either with ready-made
logic blocks, code generator tools like Matlab, or C to hardware
converters.  They are not configured manually at a low level.  Even if
when they are generated directly from VHDL or Verilog, the developer
writes "x = y * z + w" with the required number of bits in each element,
and the tools turn that into whatever DSP blocks are needed.

The key thing you have to think about here, is who would use these tiny
cpus, and why.  Is there a reason for using a few of them scattered
around the device, programmed in assembly (or worse, Forth) ?  Why would
the developer want to do that instead of just adding another software
thread to the embedded ARM processor, where development is so much more
familiar?  Why would the hardware designer want them, instead of writing
a little state machine in the language of their choice (VHDL, Verilog,
System C, MyHDL, C-to-HDL compiler, whatever)?

I am missing the compelling use-cases here.  Yes, it is possible to make
small and simple cpu units with a stack machine architecture, and fit
lots of them in an FPGA.  But I don't see /why/ I would want them -
certainly not why they are better than alternatives, and worth the
learning curve.

> 
> People have mindsets about things and I believe this is one of them.

Exactly.  And you have a choice here - work with people with the
mindsets they have, or give /seriously/ compelling reasons why they
should invest in the time and effort needed to change those mindsets.
Wishful thinking is not the answer.

> The GA144 is not so easy to program because people want to use it for

It is not easy to program because it is not easy to program.
Multi-threaded or multi-process software is harder than single-threaded
code.

The tools and language here for the GA144 - based on Forth - are two
generations behind the times.  They are totally unfamiliar to almost any
current software developer.

And yes, there is the question of what kind of software you would want
to write.  People either want to write small, dedicated software - in
which case they want a language that is familiar and they want to keep
the code simple.  Or they want bigger projects, reusing existing code -
in which case they /need/ a language that is standard.

Look at the GA144 site.  Apart from the immediate fact that it is pretty
much a dead site, and clearly a company that has failed to take off,
look at the examples.  A 10 Mb software Ethernet MAC ?  Who wants /that/
in software?  A PS/2 keyboard controller?  An MD5 hash generator running
in 16 cpus?  You can download a 100-line md5 function for C and run it
on any processor.

It has long been established that lots of tiny processors running really
fast are far less use than a few big processors running really fast.
700 MIPS sounds marvellous, until you realise how simple and limited
each of these instructions is.

At each step here, you have been entirely right about what can be done.
 Yes, you can make small and simple processors - so small and simple
that you can have lots of them at high clock speeds.

And you have been right that using these would need a change in mindset,
programming language, and development practice to use them.

But nowhere do I see any good reason /why/.  No good use-cases.  If you
want to turn the software and FPGA development world on its head, you
need an extraordinarily good case for it.

Yup. The hardware is easy. Programming is painful, but there
are known techniques to control it...

There's an existing commercially successful set of products in
this domain. You get 32-core 4000MIPS processors, and the IDE
guarantees the hard real-time performance.

Programming uses a techniques created in the 70s, first
implemented in the 80s, and which continually reappear, e.g.
TI's DSP engines, Rust, Go etc.

Understand XMOS's xCORE processors and xC language, see how
they complement and support each other. I found the net result
stunningly easy to get working first time, without having to
continually read obscure errata!

"Inter-core programming model", not sure what that means.=20

I think you are overthinking this, much as people do when using large CPUs,=

I don't see the difficulty.  I'm not so familiar with Verilog, but in VHDL =
you have sequential code.  It wouldn't be hard to program a CPU using VHDL =
I think.  If nothing else, there should be a way to code in assembler and e=

I believe we have officially reached the point where $1 processors are 32 b=

You are thinking of something totally different from using a CPU as logic. =
 Processors like ARMs are too large to have hundreds in an FPGA (unless it =

Small, very small.  Maybe 256 words of RAM.  Instructions on the F18A are o=
nly 5 bits and so pack four per in the 18 bit word.  The last instruction i=
s only 3 bits wide expressing a subset of the 32 instructions otherwise cod=
ed for.  Round the word width up to 20 bits or even 32.=20

I'm not sure what happens if this actual processor is shrunk from 180 nm to=
 something like 20 nm.  It was highly optimized for the 180 nm process it i=
s built in and it may require some tweaks to work well at smaller processes=
.  The F18A has no external clock and different instructions time different=

If you have logic that is well implemented sequentially (at a very high spe=

If you have to use JTAG to debug something like this you are pretty much do=

In general FPGAs are 99.9% debugged in simulation.  The odd 0.1% requires p=
