The experiments covered in this section are as follows.

Experiment 1: LED shifting design experiment

Experiment 2: SignalTap experiment

Experiment 3: Segment display experiment

Experiment 4: Block/SCH experiment

Experiment 5: button debouncing experiment

Experiment 6: use of multiplier and ModelSim simulation

Experiment 7: hex to BCD conversion and application

Experiment 8: usage of ROM

Experiment 9: use dual-ROM to read and write frame data

Experiment 10: asynchrounous serial port design and experiment
