Abstract
FPGA provides a platform for rapidly prototyping digital systems. High-volume digital systems are prototyped using FPGAs to avoid possible re-spins. FPGAbased prototyping boards that incorporate necessary interfaces and memory chips are used for this purpose. In this chapter we take a look at how a FPGA can be used to develop and debug the hypothetical robot controller discussed in the previous chapters.
