Hello Lingyueqing,

The fastest and simplest way to go is use VHDL.

If you know Verilog, VHDL is just a matter of syntax.

If you want to go the processor way, then you will have to learn how to implement a soft processor on your board and on top of this ARM assembly language.

What your chances are depends on your experience and drive.

Best regards,

Johi.
