Hardware Validation
With the FPGA programmed, test the behavior:
-
Connect an LED to the output pin l1.
-
Observe the LED brightness:
-
It should blink at a fixed frequency, with brightness gradually increasing (duty cycle increasing).
-
Once the counter reaches the maximum value (255), the PWM resets.
If the behavior is not as expected:
-
Check your block connections in ChipInventor.
-
Ensure the system clock is properly connected.
