Editor's Note: I was recently perusing a new book called Design Recipes for FPGAs that was written by Peter Wilson and published by Newnes (ISBN-13: 978-0750668453). This is a rather interesting “Cook ...

Usually, when you think of driving a VGA–in software or hardware–you think of using a frame buffer. The frame buffer is usually dual port RAM. One hardware or software process fills in the RAM and ...
