scrolling message display

[Altera_Forum]

hello... 

 i`m going to do scrolling message display project using Verilog and hardware implementation using FPGA chips.Anybody can help me? :o thank you.

it`s seems nobody wanna help me....:(

It is very difficult to answer a question so broad and so loose. Try to be more specific, about your hardware implementation, and about what exactly you don't know how to do it.

thx vjAlter.. 

 actually i`m going to do this project using maxplus/quartus software and hardware implementation using up2/up3 board.. the problem now i don`t know how to build the source code (verilog hdl) or schematic diagram.. if can i wanna get some advise from altera expert. sorry if my English very bad.

I'm not familiar with these old boards. It would be quite different depending on the board, because I see the up2 has a VGA output interface, but the up3 has instead an LCD module. 

 Anyway, it doesn't really sound as a project reasonable for a beginner. You should start with a very basic design until becoming more familiar with the software tools, Verilog and your hardware.  I would start with something like reading the push buttons and driving the board LEDs. Try also to grab some Verilog introductory book, or at least some Verilog introduction available on-line.

Hamblen, "Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems". It gives a nice introduction to FPGA design and provides all the information you need to realize this project on your UP2/UP3 board.

thanks to vjalter and sanmao.. i will find all the basic regarding verilog.. this project maybe not suitable for beginner but as 4th yr student i must do this project for my 'final yr project'.. unfortunately this project goes to me.. i already do research about this title and usually peoples use microcontroller to implement this project.. thanks again coz helping me..

But it depends on the output interface. A microcontroller can easily drive an LCD module, but it usually can't drive a VGA interface without extra hardware.  You can still implement this with an FPGA. But first learn the basics, then move on to the specifics of your project.
