Verilog Meetup
- WHO IT IS FOR: Hardware engineers, students, and hobbyists interested in digital design and FPGA development.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: A technical deep-dive into Verilog programming, ranging from basic FPGA tutorials to advanced CPU architecture.
- FORMAT: A hands-on technical meetup featuring educational exercises and hardware experiments.
Join a community of hardware enthusiasts at the Hacker Dojo in Mountain View for a comprehensive exploration of Verilog. Whether you are just starting with FPGA boards or are a seasoned engineer, this event provides practical, hands-on exercises spanning multiple vendors including Xilinx, Altera, Gowin, Lattice, and Efinix.
Participants will dive into diverse projects, from sound recognition and graphics generation to complex microarchitectural challenges like pipelines, FIFOs, and flow control. The curriculum scales from simple single-cycle CPUs to advanced out-of-order, multicore designs featuring caches and branch predictors.
Additionally, the group explores the frontier of open-source ASIC design tools and accessible manufacturing pathways via Tiny Tapeout. This is a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between theoretical digital logic and real-world silicon implementation.
