Simple "Hello World" example for Cyclone II kit (or DE0) in VHDL for VGA monitor

Question

Hi,

does anybody know where can I find a simple "Hello World" example for Cyclone II kit (or DE0) in VHDL for VGA monitor?

What goes to the screen can be the message above or a simple figure (a rectangle, for instance).

Best wishes

Hi,

i found one solution.

In this link (http://eewiki.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageid=15925278) there is a basic example which was in schematic and prepared for the DE2-115 kit.

I adapted this example for VHDL (non-schematic) and prepared it for the Cyclone II Starter Development Kit.

The compressed project file is attached, if it can be usefull for others.

Hi Jaraqui,

Thanks for sharing your work ! It is very useful indeed.

Do you mind if we put it on our website as a reference for those who are also looking for resources about VGA controller in VHDL ?

Hi Dav,

feel free to share and use! I think the link http://eewiki.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageid=15925278 is also important to be referenced together with the code for the sake of better comprehension.
