Verilog

On this page you will find a series of tutorials introducing FPGA design with verilog. These tutorials take you through all the steps required to start using verilog and are aimed at total beginners.

If you haven’t already done so, it is recommended that you read the posts which introduce the FPGA development process first. These give an overview of all the stages required to design an FPGA. This information will give you some important basic background knowledge which will help with these verilog tutorials.

For a deeper dive, our exclusive video tutorials offer a deeper dive into the subjects covered in our free tutorials. This includes live coding sessions with source code that will be shared with anyone that purchases a video.

Pay just £1 if you purchase our latest video - Using Continuous Assignment to Model Combinational Logic - before 31st July.

Payments for our videos are handled by a new company called Fourdotpay. Anyone who signs up with them during this introductory period will receive a £5 welcome bonus.  This means you can try out one of our new videos absolutely free. See our FAQS page for details about how to take advantage of this offer.
