FPGA: processo de configuração com desenvolvimento de protótipo em placa de circuito impresso

Abstract

A FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device usually based on volatile memory that requires a configuration basically described by an HDL editor (Hardware Description Language) and ensure its correct operation. In this study, the objective is to answer basic questions related to the configuration, from the perspective of hardware, such as schemas and configuration modes (active and passive), pins configuration and solutions (memories) in order to generate knowledge directed to the development of a simple and practical application of a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). It's expected to build a board with Altera® FPGA containing two forms of configuration (JTAG and Active Serial mode) and simple features, similar to basic kits of development already existed.
