Video Guide: How to get started with Xilinx ISE and VHDL
I posted this video guide on Youtube a couple of days ago, though I wanted to announce it in here too.
In this video tutorial I guide you thru how to make a counter application for the Basys2 board, which is an FPGA board from Digilent to those who are unfamiliar with it.
I will show you the required steps of setting up a project in Xilinx ISE, writing the VHDL code for the counter application, writing the pin constraints file (.UCF) and finally generating the bit-file for the Basys2 board.
This video tutorial was actually requested by a reader of the blog, so with this being my first video tutorial, I would like to show you that comments and requests ARE HEARD! 
EDIT:
The Xilinx ISE project files for the tutorial can be downloaded here: Basys2_CounterApp.zip
Thank you very much for your help ! Your video is a perfect tutorial. I’m french’s teacher, can I use your tutorial for my students please ?

Hi Nat.
Sure you can.
Have you seen the most recently uploaded about getting started with Xilinx ISE and VHDL? That video is a bit less advanced than this one, as I just show how to blink an LED.
