Summary of VHDL Lecture 3 Lab1 Switches LEDs Explanation
The video is a lecture on VHDL, focusing on controlling an LED using a switch. The aim of the lab is to write a VHDL program to achieve this. The methodology presented in the video includes installing Xilinx ISC Design Suite software, creating a new project, specifying hardware settings, adding a VHDL module, declaring inputs and outputs in the entity part of the code, synthesizing the code, and checking for any syntax errors. The presenter of the video is Ivan.
### Methodology
- Installing Xilinx ISC Design Suite software
- Creating a new project in the software
- Specifying hardware settings such as FPGA type, language (VHDL), and device details
- Adding a VHDL module for programming the FPGA
- Declaring inputs (switches) and outputs (LEDs) in the entity part of the code
- Synthesizing the code to convert it into hardware
- Checking for any syntax errors by looking for a green tick next to synthesis
