Hardware Graphics Driver Based on FPGA

In this article, the formulation of the problem of hardware implementation on a programmable logic integrated circuit (FPGA) driver for the VGA interface is considered. In the course of work, various methods and techniques of circuit design are used: graphical input of circuits, description of circuits in the language of description of electronic circuits - VHDL [1], use of ready-made circuit blocks - IP-cores, low-level programming. Problems of interaction with peripheral devices (buttons, sliders, rotation angle sensor - encoder) are solved in hardware. The tasks of displaying text and graphic information on the display via a VGA interface are being solved. The hardware controller is implemented to control the device using the VHDL language, the command system is selected. Estimates of hardware costs and test results of the developed device are presented.
