Introduction
This repository contains a collection of IPython notebooks with MyHDL exercises (mex). These exercises can be used as a learning tool to learn hardware description and MyHDL.
Getting Started
First, clone the repository and run the ipython notebook in the cloned workspace:
>> git clone https://github.com/cfelton/myhdl_exercises
>> cd myhdl_exercises
>> ipython notebook
or
>> jupyter notebook
Next, to run the exercises the myhdl pacakge is required.
MyHDL can be installed via pypi:
>> pip install myhdl
Or the latest can be retrieved from:
>> git clone https://github.com/jandecaluwe/myhdl
To start IPython see the directions here
Once the packages are installed open the first notebook and verify all the cells can run.
Exercises
Other than the first exercise, each requires an HDL module to be defined and an existing test will verify if the HDL module is working correctly or not.
