Xevious FPGA arcade game - MAX10 - DE10_lite - update

Xevious DE10 Lite update 

Now USB Host for USB keyboard/joystick inputs available using Arduino USB host shield. USB HID report is displayed on 7-Segments display to ease differents joysticks adaptation. Nios processor not used, simple VHDL sequencer.

Digital audio out available using Teensy audio adapter. I2C config uses VHDL sequencer.

VHDL source code available here : https://sourceforge.net/projects/darfpga/files/Software%20VHDL/xevious/

See other articles below for hardware details.

Digital audio DAC and SD card on DE10 Lite with Teensy audio shield

Teensy audio shield wired on top of USB Host arduino shield and mounted on DE10 Lite FPGA board. See wiring schematic below. Audio chip SGTL5000 allows to get audio output on headphone plug from FPGA I2S digital format. Line out may be connected by adding header. SD card is also wired.

Wiring of Audio shield : BEWARE First pad column are Max3421e GPIO outputs, NOTHING must be connected there !

Wiring schematic

SPI MISO, MOSI and SCLK are shared between USB Host max3421e and SD Card. They have separated chip select (CS-SD and CS-USB). Optional flash memory SPI chip select (CS-MEM) is not wired to FPGA board.

SGTL5000 config lines use I2C protocol (SDA/SCL). These lines are wired to FPGA board.

SGTL5000 digital audio I2S interface signals MCLK, LRCLK, BLCK and I2S in (TX) are wired to FPGA board.

SGTL5000 digital audio I2S out (RX) is not connected to FPGA board. Teensy board VOL pin is not wired.

Vin from DE10 board is 5V. LD1117 voltage regulator has to be bypassed. Blue rectangle shows this bypass : additional white wire.

ON/OFF switch has to be kept on OFF position. Green circle shows switch position.

Xevious FPGA arcade game - MAX10 - DE10_lite - update

Now video tested Ok (15KHz signal to TV set SCART)
NO external RAM required.
Keyboard and sound output not tested yet (required external hardware on GPIO)

Xevious FPGA arcade game - MAX10 - DE10_lite

Experimental version for MAX10 FPGA - DE10_lite board, not tested at all (no board available).
No external SRAM required. Be careful with gpio connection, must use voltage translator or limiting diodes to avoid board damages.
