ince small number of years the FPGA project remains a secret since it involves patent-rights and other companies. This project work describes programming an FPGA by using VHDL is an abbreviation of Very high-speed integrated circuit Hardware Description Language. The FPGA was placed on an already finished circuit board. This meant that the signals to and from the FPGA were known.

      Several tools had been made available to make this possible. Those tools involved a desktop to manage the files and write the code, a synthesizer tool to create files needed for the programming unit that creates the useable FPGA. When the FPGA began to take form a small but useful tool was acquired to make it possible to study a finished FPGA signals using a computer and a small unit as an interface between. The company mentor sells these tools.

       The normal way to design an FPGA today is to create the code necessary to program the FPGA. Before programming, the generated code from a synthesizer tool is run in a simulator tool to see if it will work in theory. Theory and practice does not always match but it’s still a good indication if it will work in practice. Then the generated files are used to n program the FPGA in a programming device.
