- Clock: 25000000 Hz
How it works
Typical Verilog design that generates VGA timing and RGB222 colour outputs compatible with the Tiny VGA PMOD.
It produces a bouncing ball animation over the top of an adaptation of Matt Venn's VGA clock, from here: https://github.com/mattvenn/tt08-vga-clock
How to test
- Plug in a VGA monitor via Tiny VGA PMOD.
- Set
modeinput to 0, i.e. specifying 640x480 60Hz from a 25MHz clock. - Set
show_clockinput to 1. - Set
pmod_selectinput to 0 for Tiny VGA PMOD. Otherwise, 1=Matt's VGA Clock PMOD. - Supply a 25MHz clock (clock's actual seconds timer assumes exactly 25.000MHz).
- Assert reset.
- Pulse or hold the
adj_*inputs to adjust hours, minutes, or seconds.
External hardware
Tiny VGA PMOD and VGA monitor is all you should need externally.
