Open Source VHDL/Verilog Scientific/Engineering Software - Page 2

This project aim to develop a suite of tool to ease the development of ASIC/FPGA solution. The final program should be an IDE enabling the creation and specification of a project from it's start to finish.

CoreTML framework is an open-source template-based configuration system allowing the developer to create parametrized templates by inserting special content to any text files. Its main purpose is to serve as a toolkit for semiconductor IP core creation (based on VHDL/Verilog).

We are currently working with professors Bruce Land and Paul Kintner to develop a hardware mobile GPS receiver on an FPGA, capable of receiving L1 civilian GPS signals in real time.

A collection of useful software packages to perform engineering tasks, especially electrical engineering and chip design. All packages come as shrink-wrapped installers for Apple's Mac OS X.

The FAZIA project groups together more than 10 institutions in Nuclear Physics, which are working in the domain of heavy-ion induced reactions around and below the Fermi energy (10-100AMeV). The aim of the project is to build a 4Pi array for charged particles, with high granularity and good energy resolution, with A and Z identification capability over the widest possible range. It will use the up-to-date techniques concerning detection, signal processing and data flow, with full digital electronics. Neutron detection is also foreseen via the collaboration with the NEUTROMANIA group. FAZIA is designed to operate at stable and radioactive beams facilities like LNL-Legnaro, LNS-Catania in Italy, GANIL-SPIRAL and SPIRAL2 in France, GSI-FAIR in Germany in the horizon 2010-2015. The availability of the european radioactive beam facility EURISOL expected in the period 2015-2020 will also be a major opportunity for the FAZIA community.

Automatic build management for VHDL and Verilog projects. The automatic dependency resolver finds the exact subset of sources, and the correct order they must appear in required to build a project. A Makefile automates the actual build itself.

Module 1: durchblicker: embedded Logicanalyzer with direct output on VGA-monitor

A free VHDL IPs for general purpose FPGA developpement. Need GRLIB to work properly, to setup see README.

Student Project

The purpose of this simple DIY project is to build an electronic circuit that received the GPS time signal, convert it to the radio-controlled clock format, and transmit that signal to the clock. Once built, there is no need for setup and maintenance, all you need is put this unit close to the window to receive GPS signal, and it will transmit the time signal to your radio-controlled clock.

GalaxyIP (Galaxy Intellectual Property Cores) is a project devoted to accommodate a set of IP-Cores for embedded SoC development, based on the processor code named Voyager (StarTrek and the space probes).

Gwyscope is a low cost, open hardware, Digital Signal Processor (DSP) suitable for Scanning Probe Microscopy measurements, focusing on demonstrating the concept of adaptive scanning, general XYZ data acquisition and statistical data processing on the controller level. More details can be found in: M. Valtr et al., Scanning Probe Microscopy controller with advanced sampling support, HardwareX, Volume 15, e00451 https://www.hardware-x.com/article/S2468-0672(23)00058-5/fulltext It is based on a low cost FPGA board Red Pitaya and additional high bit depth AD and DA converters. When put together with the AFM scanning hardware (sensor, scanner and their amplifiers) and user interface software it can serve as a standalone SPM system. Otherwise, it can serve as a sub-module for a custom built SPM system, e.g. providing the feedback loop mechanism only. Finally, it can be used as a board for developing advanced sampling techniques, which was the primary goal.

This project includes a set of tools and guidelines designed for rapid production of large-scale embedded systems projects. The tools enable quick generation of reusable, reconfigurable hardware, using a user-specified hardware description language.

Platform for advanced open source IP-Core development, i. e. dynamic memory controllers for FPGAs.

This project aims to develop a colour-based vision processing system for use in RoboCup. We are using a CCD camera for input to an FPGA. The system locates coloured objects and outputs detected corners.

Convert C++ software programs into synthesisable Verilog using the Clang compiler frontend to parse and SystemC for intermediates.

Labcoat for SuperWikia Alpha fabrication manages new or revised fabrication processes. Its 'Cleanroom' applets allow codesmiths to access the lab environment, used to create semiconductors, substrate prototypes, chipset instruction blocks and other Labcoat projects. Our extensions in future releases will include UML support for C#/C++ conforming projects, import/export architecture schematics and refactoring sub-projects.

Verilog-A Implementation of the Mextram Bipolar Transistor Model

NOCEXplore is a Network-on-Chip design exploration tool based on SystemC. It includes libraries and executables for easy and fast upgradeable NoC models and a set of shell scripts. The project started during the PhD of Stefano Gigli at DII of Universita' Politecnica delle Marche (http://www.dii.univpm.it/) under the supervision of Prof. Massimo Conti and contribution of several students.

The OS561 operating system based around FORTH/Java. The OS is to run on a VHDL chip OpenHardware design called the Minon, but could become available for other platforms. The unique point of the design is a revolutionary data compression technology.

Open RVC-CAL to HDL (ORC2HDL) is an Eclipse Plugin which uses the Open RVC-CAL Compiler (ORCC) and the openForge HDL Synthesizer. This plugin gives the ability to generate HDL code from a RVC-CAL model.

OpenWebServo is an Open Source Hardware and Software project. Its main goal is to develop a web-controlled servo system. The project includes web application, firmware and hardware design.

OpenVGA is an free and open FPGA-based implementation of a VGA compatible graphics adapter, and utilising low-cost hardware. The project includes the PCB schematic and artwork, Verilog HDL, firmware assembly code, and driver source code.

Design and implementation of silicon and software for baseband processors conforming to IEEE wireless standards. Initial focus on WiMAX and WiFi.
