Mandelbrot set on FPGA, Part 2 – Modelling & First FPGA implementation

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…

Beautiful graphics from simple math – Mandelbrot set on FPGA, Part 1

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…
