Like a lot of people I know, I really got into baking during COVID. Started with sourdough of course, didn’t really work out. The love of baking stuck though. Over the years, many great breads made from a mix of buckwheat, rye and whole wheat were baked and eaten, usually while still hot. Also, many, many failed attempts – I even managed to make a normally leavened bread that was flatter than the flattest flat…
In the previous post, I introduced my idea of implementing the Mandelbrot set on an FPGA and described the Mandelbrot set equation and the Escape-time coloring algorithm. This post will talk about the implementation. Modeling the Mandelbrot set I consider it a good idea to start any FPGA implementation work with some planning, and in the case of an algorithm, the first thing you’d want to do is write a simple implementation of it…
Introduction to the Mandelbrot set Like I mentioned in the previous post, I wanted to familiarize myself with the HDMI output on the DE10-nano FPGA board, and there is no harm in getting some pretty graphics along the way, so I decided to implement a Mandelbrot set viewer on FPGA. If you are not familiar with the Mandelbrot set, it is a type of a fractal, which is simply put an infinitely – repeating recursive…
Just got this board a few days ago! Thank yous go to mahen, who was kind enough to sponsor the board for me (thanks again man, I really appreciate it!). For those not familiar with it, this board is the basis of MiSTer, which is a project that aims to recreate various classic computers, game consoles, and arcade machines on FPGA hardware – and as the name implies, you could say it is a continuation of the MiST…
