Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Suppose you initially implemented a counter in an FPGA, but it increments every time an input signal changes, not just on a clock edge. What debugging steps would you take?

💡 Hint: Identify the sources of signal conflict.

Challenge 2 Hard

You are working on a UART transmitter, but it appears to be sending garbled messages. Outline a debugging strategy.

💡 Hint: Consider both simulation and real-world testing using the tools.
