Lab 2

Four-Digit Hex Counter

The main objective of this lab is to be able to boot a program that is a four-digit counter from memory. That is, a program that when you turn on the FPGA, it begins to run. The program at its core is similar to the hex counter from Lab 1. The main differences appear when it comes to the board configuration. There is a jumper on the JTAG pin that needs to be moved to the QSPI pin which allows the Nexys A7-100T to store the program in memory. Additionally a memory configuration file needed to be generated such that when booting from memory, the board will understand how to run the program. After to reset the board the jumper was moved back from the QSPI pin to the JTAG pin.
