Hardware Design with RTL VHDL Interface Pseudocode Datapath Controller Block diagram State diagram or ASM chart Block diagram VHDL code VHDL code VHDL code
Steps of the Design Process • Text description • Interface • Pseudocode • Block diagram of the Datapath • Interface divided into Datapath and Controller • ASM chart of the Controller • RTL VHDL code of the Datapath, Controller, and Top-Level Unit • Testbench for the Datapath, Controller, and Top-Level Unit • Functional simulation and debugging • Synthesis and post-synthesis simulation • Implementation and timing simulation • Experimental testing using FPGA board

Simulation results for the sort operation (1)Loading memory and starting sorting
Simulation results for the sort operation (2)Completing sorting and reading out memory
Sorting - Example During Sorting After sorting Before sorting i=0 i=0 i=0 i=1 i=1 i=2 j=1 j=2 j=3 j=2 j=3 j=3 Address 0 1 2 3 3 3 2 2 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 4 Legend: position of memory indexed by i position of memory indexed by j Mj Mi
