Three ways to learn

Everything you need to master digital design

Three complementary practice modes designed to build both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

Coding Challenges

Write real HDL code

Solve hands-on challenges in VHDL and Verilog. From basic gates to full ALUs, every problem is auto-graded with instant feedback on waveform output and timing.

  • VHDL & Verilog support

  • Waveform visualizer

  • Auto-graded test benches

  • Difficulty from beginner to expert

-- D Flip-Flop

process(clk)

if rising_edge(clk) then

Q <= D;

end if;

end process;

MCQ Quizzes

Test your theory knowledge

Sharpen concepts with adaptive multiple-choice quizzes. Questions cover logic gates, Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps, FSMs, timing analysis, and more.

  • Adaptive difficulty

  • Detailed explanations

  • Progress tracking per topic

  • Exam-style timed mode

Circuit Design

Draw and simulate circuits

Build combinational and sequential circuits in an interactive schematic editor. Simulate logic propagation in real time and verify your designs automatically.

  • Drag-and-drop schematic editor

  • Real-time logic simulation

  • Gate-level & RTL views

  • Export to VHDL/Verilog

How it works

From zero to confident in 4 steps

WireUp is built around a tight feedback loop — practice, fail fast, understand, and improve.

01

Pick a challenge

Browse by topic, difficulty, or type. Whether you want to practice Karnaugh maps or build a state machine, there's always a relevant challenge waiting.

02

Design or answer

Write HDL code in the browser editor, draw a circuit in the schematic tool, or answer quiz questions — all without any setup or installation.

03

Get instant feedback

Our simulator runs your solution against test benches in milliseconds. See waveforms, logic tables, and exactly where your design fails — then fix it.

04

Track your progress

Earn XP, climb the leaderboard, and watch your skill map grow. Review weak areas with spaced-repetition-powered topic recommendations.

Testimonials

Trusted by 12,000+ learners

WireUp completely changed how I study for digital design exams. The instant waveform feedback on coding challenges is something my textbooks never provided.

MT

Minh Tran

EE Student, HCMUT

I use WireUp to stay sharp between projects. The FSM challenges are particularly well-designed — they cover edge cases that actually show up in real hardware.

SC

Sarah Chen

FPGA Engineer

The MCQ quizzes with explanations are gold. I failed my first timing analysis quiz badly, but after reviewing the explanations I finally understand setup and hold time.

AP

Arjun Patel

CS Graduate Student

Prepping for hardware interviews on WireUp was the best decision I made. Got 3 offers and the circuit design section directly came up in my interviews.

LN

Linh Nguyen

Hardware Design Intern

I use WireUp as a supplementary tool for my course. Students who practice on it consistently score 15-20% higher on practical exams.

JP

Dr. James Park

Professor, Digital Systems

Onboarded my whole junior team here. It cuts the ramp-up time for new hardware engineers in half. The topic progression is very well structured.
