1. Vim Basics

2. The purpose of this lab was to learn the basics of Vim and apply it through Vivado. First we began by learning the commands needed to navigate through Vim. Then we used Vim to create test benches and apply structural modeling, dataflow modeling, and behavioral modeling. Lastly Vim and Vivado were used to create simulations of blocking and non-blocking behavioral modeling and timing and delay in modeling.

5. Discussion

Vim is a useful editor to upload code into and produce the logic to then be implemented into Vivado. Both are useful tools and I have never used either but seem like an effient way to implement computer logic into devices. With more implementation and practice with both logic gates and full cuircuits can be achieved.
