In 16-29 December 2021, I've participated in Digital Design Camp#5 at faculty of engineering, Chulalongkorn University.
This camp is presented by companies, organizations which in digital electronics field. For instance, Design Gateway(DG), Silicon Craft(SIC), etc.
FPGA is a powerful digital circuit board which integrated by the great amount of digital logic elenents(AND, OR, Mux, Flip Flop, etc.). It has many function able to impliment. High speed data transfer is one of popular usage.
To design circuits in FPGA, We'll use VHDL, Verilog Code to program functions.
In this camp, You'll learn about Basic VHDL, timing diagram. And especially, FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) usage.
In this camp, I've learn many interesting knowledge not only about FPGA, but also Digital design, binary tricks, etc.
I've learned how to impliment UART RX, TX circuit on FPGA as the main topic. I also learn how to use simulation to simulate FPGA's operation before run in real board. However, One of my expectation is using I/O pin, but because of the dangerous that might happen to FPGA from wrong voltage pin assigned. Using I/O pin is prohibit in this camp.
Every day in evening after the camp. I prefer to talk with . About the topics, We talk many sense, nonsense things. But the topic is usually related to digital things. We talk about VHDL code, simulation, Staff's experience in the company, apprentice, etc.
For anyone who interested in digital design, I recommend this camp strongly. I garauntee that you'll get many valuable experiences, insights which can't find on internet from this camp. And for Y3 students, you'll get chance to apprentice or join with DG and SIC.
