Tutorials

This section provides step-by-step instructions through examples of basic ways for interacting with orbit.

Command Line Notation

Throughout the tutorials and the rest of the book, commands will be shown that are used in the terminal. Lines that are entered in a terminal are denoted by starting with a $. The $ is just a special marker; it is not to be entered with the command. Lines that don't start with a $ are typically the output of the previous command.

Before starting the tutorials, it is assumed you possess basic knowledge of the following topics:

• sending commands through the command-line
• digital logic concepts
• navigating your computer's local file system

Note: The HDL code used for this section may be very didactic in nature and is not intended to reflect production-level code or any particular coding style.
