@Michael Bradley
I have not taken a look for a long time into the Zybo Z7 pin mapping file. But I can tell you from memory that the PMOD connections are generally connected to the FPGA GPIO pins, so that you can control them as as you like.
So the answer to your question would be a yes!
You are not specific regarding the type of "implementation " you mean here - Make own implementation in Micorcontroller Part of SoC; Make own implementation in PL Part or FPGA
1. Signal gen can also be done using look-up tables. Depending on the nature of signal to be generated, the "look-up" table method is supposed to be efficient. The savings in processing time can be significant, because retrieving a value from memory (where loop-up table values are stored) is often faster than carrying out an "expensive" computation or input/output operation.
2. That is your homework, search out and compare!
dpaul got a reaction from Michael Bradley in is it okay to connect Zybo z7 PMod ports to digital signals through wires?
