Abstract

We developed an educational method to design the hardware with high abstraction level of the behavior description language(NSL). In this method, we designed the hardware of arcade game using VGA controller with NSL, and implemented it in only 11 days. Developed members are 9 people that is a beginner of hardware design and 1 people that had some experience of a hardware design. We divided 9 people of the beginner of hardware design to 4 groups. In this development, 4 groups could implement the hardware in 4 groups, and 4 groups implemented run hardware in TV. In this paper,we present the educational method for run hardware design with NSL in short term, and show the educational effects.
