Welcome to the frontier of digital design, where the Serial Data Processing Module project stands as a testament to the power of VHDL and FPGA technology. This repository is your gateway to exploring a meticulously crafted design, simulation, and implementation process using the Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA.
- src/: Home to the VHDL source files that form the backbone of our project.
- doc/: Detailed documentation reports, simulation files, and test benches that narrate the project's journey.
- project/: The Vivado project file (.xpr) that orchestrates our design environment.
Dive deep into the essence of our project with comprehensive documentation. From design specifications to implementation details, everything you need to grasp the project's scope and depth is here.
