The Tyto Project

The Tyto Project is a collection of open source FPGA designs and IP for retro computing and embedded systems.

Note
Work on a new version of this repository is underway - see The Tyto Project (Version 2). This version is now frozen.

At present, the designs target Xilinx 7-Series FPGAs, and the Digilent Nexys Video board, with some support for the QMTECH Wukong board. Development is done with the free editions of Xilinx Vitis and Vivado (version 2020.x) on Windows 10. Note that Vitis is only required for designs that include a MicroBlaze CPU.

Designs

mb_audio_io

A MicroBlaze CPU interfaced to an I2S audio codec. More…​

Supports: Digilent Nexys Video

mb_display_sd

A MicroBlaze CPU with a standard definition character display, similar to the text modes of a PC VGA adapter. More…​

Supports: Digilent Nexys Video, QMTECH Wukong

hdmi_tpg

Supports: Digilent Nexys Video, QMTECH Wukong

np65_poc

A proof-of-concept demonstration of the np65 6502 compatible CPU core. Runs Klaus Dormann’s 6502 functional test code in a loop, incrementing an 8 bit LED pattern each time round. Shows a 150x speedup compared with the classic 1MHz NMOS 6502. More…​

Supports: Digilent Nexys Video, QMTECH Wukong

ddr3_test

A simple DDR3 SDRAM tester based on Joris van Rantwijk’s Pseudo Random Number Generator. Also demonstrates the addition of user defined clocks, including the 200MHz IODELAYCTRL reference clock, to the DDR3 IP core MMCM. More…​

mb_fb

A MicroBlaze CPU with a 24 bit high resolution graphics frame buffer held in DDR3 SDRAM, with simple demo application based on Mike Tuupola’s hagl graphics library. More…​

Supports: Digilent Nexys Video
