Tang Nano 9K: HUB75 LED Panels

In this article, we will dive into LED pixel matrix panels and create some drivers to interface with this type of screen. The type of panel we are going to be using is sometimes called a HUB75 panel based on the interface and comes in a variety of sizes and densities. This article was developed by

Tang Nano 9K: Composite Video

In this article, we will look at composite video, more specifically the NTSC standard, and how we can implement it on the Tang Nano. We will be following Adam Gastineau who masterfully developed and documented this project, so without further ado, let's get into it. Composite Video Composite

Bitstream to FPGA

In this article we are going to take a step back from creating modules and instead take a look at how we have been transferring the bitstream to the FPGA to understand the process and protocols involved. For the Tang Nano itself you probably won't use this information directly since you have ev

Tang Nano 9K: Project EDID

This is a new section on our site for more general projects, as opposed to the main tang nano 9K series where we try to only use the OS toolchain and components available in our store to make sure they are accessible to everyone, in this series we want to remove all restrictions and showcase interes

Tang Nano 9K: Our First CPU

This is part 10 in are tang nano series which is a sort of milestone, so we wanted to do something a bit different for this article. In this article we will be going full-circle back to the LED counter example where it all started, but this time we will be implementing the project using software. T

Setup

OS Toolchain Manual Installation

Our recommended method for installing the toolchain is to use our VS Code extension "Lushay Code" as it is the easiest way to get setup and use the open-source toolchain on any operating system with the least moving parts. Full guide can be found here. For those who are more confident in

Tang Nano 9K: I2C, ADC and Micro Procedures

Up until now we have been dealing with all our procedural tasks by creating state machines that would advance step by step through a process. This is great for simpler tasks, but for more complex tasks it can grow out of hand quickly if proper care isn't made to craft the correct building blocks

Tang Nano 9K: Sharing Resources

Some projects require having multiple modules use a common resource. This could be for a number of reasons like the common device might be an external peripheral (e.g. sensor / storage device) or it may be an expensive module so it might be to save on internal resources. Whatever the reason for doin
