VHDL Design
Once the project file is created, the next step is to add the design source file(s) into your
project. For this tutorial, a single VHDL design file will be added into the project.
1. Click on the Add/Edit button from Source Manager to open the Source Manager
2. In the Source Manager window, click on the Add button to add a VHDL design
3. In the File Manager window, select .VHD from the C:\PRO-
This VHDL design is available at the end of this document.
The F02_44TQFP.VHD file is a VHDL design that uses two 7-segment displays and the
built-in oscillator on the Atmel ATF15xx-DK3 CPLD Development/Programmer Board to
generate two scrolling “0” characters. This design will also pass the states of the I/O
push-button switches (SW1-SW4) to the LEDs at LED1-LED4 on the ATF15xx-DK3
CPLD Development/Programmer Board. For details, please review the VHDL code.
In this part of the tutorial, the VHDL design code will be synthesized through the Mentor
Graphics Precision Synthesis process into an EDIF netlist (*.EDF), which contains a set
of optimized/minimized logic equations for the specified CPLD.
