3Create a new FPGA project
Open your FPGA synthesis tool (or just a simulator) of choice and create a new project. Add all VHDL files from the NEO430 rtl/core folder to your project. Make sure to add them to a new library called "neo430". neo430_top.vhd is the top entity of the processor itself - with all the interfaces coming out of it. For a simple start it might be better to use the neo430_test.vhd file as top entity (from the rtl/top_templates folder). This test setup only requires/provides a clock, a reset button, a UART interface and some fancy LEDs.
