QNICE - FPGA 16-bit System-on-a-Chip

What is QNICE-FPGA?

QNICE-FPGA is a 16-bit computer system build as a fully-fledged system-on-a-chip in portable VHDL on a FPGA. Specifications:

• 16-bit QNICE CPU featuring 16 registers, 8 of them in 256 register banks (learn more in qnice_intro.pdf)

• 32k words ROM (64kB)

• 32k words RAM (64kB)

• UART 115.200 baud, 8-N-1, CTS

• VGA 80x40 character textmode display (640x480 resolution)

• PS/2 keyboard support (mapped to USB on the Nexys4 DDR)

• 4-digit 7-segment display

• 16 hardware toggle switches

The main purpose of QNICE-FPGA is learning, teaching and having fun.

Q-TRIS

Q-TRIS is a Tetris clone and the first game ever developed for QNICE-FPGA. The rules of the game are very close to the "official" Tetris rules.
