Hello everybody. I would like to develop a word counter for my FPGA starting from Java but I'm not sure how to proceed. The idea is to create a Java circuit description of the application using JHDL in order to generate the netlist and then push it into my FPGA. Is it how the steps should go?

After creating the EDIF netlist, you will need to run the FPGA vendor's tools which convert an EDIF netlist to a bitstream. In case of Xilinx, these might be the Alliance or Foundation tools. At any rate, the execution of these tools is outside the scope of this JHDL getting started guide and will be specific to your FPGA site setup. more on: http://www.jhdl.org/documentation/starter.html

JHDL is a software that given a Java hardware description as parameter (basically are java files that contains methods to describe input, output and behaviour of hardware components) it outputs a netlist. more on: http://www.jhdl.org/documentation/starter.html rm wrote: > After creating the EDIF netlist, you will need to run the FPGA vendor's > tools which convert an EDIF netlist to a bitstream.

I Should use Vivado, isn't it? Anyway, guessing from your posts it seems the right direction. Thanks to you all.
