I’m from Norway, but I live in Bangkok, Thailand. Before I started VHDLwhiz, I worked as an FPGA engineer in the defense industry. I earned my master’s degree in informatics at the University of Oslo.

How to generate random numbers in VHDL
VHDL has a built-in pseudo-random generator, but it can only generate floating-point numbers between 0 and 1. Fortunately, you can derive from this any other kind of random data format you should need. Continue reading this article to find out how to produce real or integer values of any range, as well as random std_logic_vector…
How a signal is different from a variable in VHDL
In the previous tutorial we learned how to declare a variable in a process. Variables are good for creating algorithms within a process, but they are not accessible to the outside world. If a scope of a variable is only within a single process, how can it interact with any other logic? The solution for…
BMP file bitmap image read using TEXTIO
Converting the image file to a bitmap format makes for the easiest way to read a picture using VHDL. Support for the BMP raster graphics image file format is built into the Microsoft Windows operating system. That makes BMP a suitable image format for storing photos for use in VHDL testbenches. In this article, you…
How to create a breathing LED effect using a sine wave stored in block RAM
I’ve noticed that many of the gadgets that I’ve bought the last couple of years have shifted away from LED blinking to led breathing. Most electronic gizmos contain a status LED whose behavior gives away indications of what’s going on inside of the device. My electric toothbrush flashes an LED when it’s time to recharge…
How to create a list of strings in VHDL
Text strings in VHDL are generally limited to fixed-length character arrays. That makes sense because VHDL describes hardware, and generic-length strings require dynamic memory. To define an array of strings, you have to allocate space at compile-time for the highest number of strings you want to store. And even worse, you must decide on the…
Generate statement debouncer example
The generate statement in VHDL can automatically duplicate a block of code to closures with identical signals, processes, and instances. It’s a for loop for the architecture region that can create chained processes or module instances.
Dear Jonas
Thanks for the content, thumbs up. please keep up the good work!
Best Regards
Thanks! That’s good to hear.
You are doing a very nice job. Top quality!
Thanks! I really appreciate your comment.
Hello Jonas

Thank you so much man you are awesome! i learnt vhdl in university but i forgot after all years. i started again working. You help me too much! i will continue to course after this beginner course. i am planning the begin beginner fast track ! please dont stop the teaching us . thank you so much! greetings from turkey 🙂
Hello, Utku. Thank you for the nice comment! I’m glad you found my blog to be helpful. I will keep the free and premium content coming your way.
Thank you for providing such great content on a subject that imo can be tricky to really understand. But you make it easy for everyone!
That’s great to hear! I will keep on creating tutorials and articles for you. ?
Dear Jonas,
I’m an electronic engineer from Morocco, currently studying for a masters degree in microelectronics and sensors in France.
You helped me a lot to remember some of the vhdl basics and get more further into it.
I worked on an academic project using basys3 and vivado for a vga controller.
Thank you very much for this great content, keep up the good work.
I’m glad you like the quiz. It’s a good way to refresh your knowledge. 🙂
Excellent learning tool
Thanks! By the way, I also use quizzes in the VHDLwhiz membership.
Great tutorials! Short and sweet!
I’ll be sure to go onto the FPGA and VHDL Fast-Track after completing the basic tutorials..
Thanks, Dale! Also, check out the VHDLwhiz Membership, which gives you multiple courses, resource items, and coding challenges and supports your success in FPGA design.
Nice quiz, only problem is sharing your score on facebook is not working.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve created a task on this. I’ll see if I can fix it when I have the time.
