VERA Test¶
Vera_integrated on Verilator¶
Build the vera_integrated project:
cd build/sim-a7-100/gw/projects/vera_integrated
make vera_integrated_sim
Execute the generated Verilator model:
./Vmodel
Vmodel opens a window where the VGA output is rendered pixel-by-pixel. You should see the following frame appear:

The terminal window should look like this:

Vera_integrated on the Arty A7¶
Hook up the VGA PMOD as described here.
Build the vera_integrated project in an Arty A7 build tree:
cd build/arty-a7-100/gw/projects/vera_integrated
make vera_integrated_bit
Download the generated bitstream file to the Arty A7:
make vera_integrated_load
The display should now show a bunch of colored squares. Here's a picture of my setup.
