Resources and Going Further

These are the basics of how FPGAs work and what they are made of. Alchitry's website has more great resources, including tutorials, projects, and the Alchitry Forum.

If you'd like to delve deeper into the world of FPGAs and Lucid, check out "Learning FPGAs: Digital Design for Beginners with Mojo and Lucid HDL" by Justin Rajewski. It's available on Amazon and is a great resource for understanding and ultimately designing your own FPGAs.

We are continually expanding our offering of tutorials and products related to FPGAs. Check out some of the following tutorials!
