Sir,I am a beginner in the fpga design field and wish to take up a project on Xilinx Spartan 3e fpga as my degree (graduation) level engineering project with an intention to learn fpga design. I have worked on a xilinx cpld before on some elementary projects, and have a brief idea about xilinx ide. I was looking up the projects in the OpenCore certified category. But am confused regarding which would be the best one as my project considering that i am a novice. I am currently in my final year of Electronics engineering course. Please guide regarding same Thanking you in anticipation Sir,I am a beginner in the fpga design field and wish to take up a project on Xilinx Spartan 3e fpga as my degree (graduation) level engineering project with an intention to learn fpga design.

Hello beginner, In my opinion there are few things you can start with. I would suggest to pick a MIPS processor, or any other small CPU and with good description and simply go over the design and re-implement it or advance it, or simulate it, or add another units to it. The reason i suggest MIPS is that the architecture is similar to several courses taught in universities, so its a good starting point. Once you got the processor running, you can add new cores to it such as branch prediction unit, out-of-order unit and so on. Good luck Hello beginner, In my opinion there are few things you can start with.

Hi Beginner, An approach that can maintain tremendous fun and motivation is to ask yourself what you want to invent? With concepts in mind, think about what cores (from OpenCores, Xilinx or others) you might integrate / modify / enhance (as the other poster mentions) to achieve your vision. Creativity is always premium. -Jerry Hi Beginner, An approach that can maintain tremendous fun and motivation is to ask yourself what you want to invent?

Sir, will it be a good idea to implement ARM core as our project rather considering the current trends? Or is the MIPS drill necessary? I am working on this project with my 3 colleagues and ours is a longterm project spanning 6-7 months (we have to balance it with our academic coursework though) Hello beginner, In my opinion there are few things you can start with.

ARM is a complex design, but can be very fun and alot to learn too. If you are confident with your verilog, and verification skills then hell yes go ahead! 6-7 monthes is a good time too, but it depends on how much time you can actually spend on this. ARM and mips are totally different though, ARM will require much more work! I suggest you start with something small, and advance it.
