7 years ago --- Quote Start --- do you want to write hdl, are you using a softcore, arm processor or do you have other ideas? What did you try? We'll help you where you get stuck. It seems you have chosen the communication protocol, so you have investigated that. What will be your next step, what do you aleady know, what is the level of your experience with fpga's? --- Quote End --- I want to implement a fpga verilog/vhdl code to generate a 4 digit random number (1000-9999) by using things like LFSR. I have good experience with arduino but very new to fpga. I have only 3 pins left with arduino. Hence after doing some research i came to a conclusion that I cant use SPI or I2C. I can use only uart Serial data transmission which i can connect with arduino tx rx pins and also it is very easy to code in arduino for receiving the serial data. But before generating the random number i want to first try with sending some predefined data. As im new to FPGA i dont know about verilog programming and how to implement uart in fpga. I cant write verilog codes from scratch but i hope can read and understand example codes and modify them to my needs. so kindly help me in establishing the hardware and the program.
