Basic 3D graphics processor implemented on small FPGA

FPGAs have big computing possibilities and therefore are very popular as dedicated hardware accelerators. A few years ago, FPGAs were expensive and the cheapest ones had very limited capabilities, because of small amount of logic elements and slow internal clocks. Nowadays, cheap development boards are available at a price below 50€ with abilities to transmit even HDMI signals. This paper covers implementation of the soft processor with a 3D graphics coprocessor on the cheapest available FPGA board with HDMI connector, containing only 8k Logic Elements.
