# Getting Started with FPGAs

**Brought to you by the [Open Source FPGA Foundation](https://www.chipsalliance.org/)**

Led by [Steve Hoover](https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-hoover-a44b607/), founder of [<a href="https://redwoodeda.com"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/11302288/130831451-1c3b1541-06f2-4c0e-bbaf-8e0026db00c1.png" alt="redwoodeda-logo" height="50"></a>](https://redwoodeda.com) and member of the [OSFPGA](https://www.chipsalliance.org/) Education and Training Committee.

This free short-course takes you from your browser to your board in under an hour, using the [Makerchip](https://makerchip.com) IDE.

You'll develop a simple counter circuit and a 7-segment display controller in Verilog or Transaction-Level Verilog. Then, if you have any of several supported FPGA boards, you’ll be able to run your design on your own FPGA. From there, the sky’s the limit.

Visit [OSFPGA.org](https://www.chipsalliance.org/) for further learning opportunities.
