[Clifford] presented a fully open-source toolchain for programming FPGAs. If you don’t think that this is an impressive piece of work, you don’t really understand FPGAs. The toolchain, or “flow” as ...

Its use results in faster development, cleaner testbenches, and a modern software-oriented approach to validating FPGA and ...

Hackaday brought you a first look the Arduino MKR Vidor 4000 when it announced. Arduino sent over one of the first boards so now we finally have our hands on one! It’s early and the documentation is ...

Every new hardware device that offers some kind of benefit compared to legacy devices faces the task of overcoming the immense inertia that is imparted to a platform by the software that runs upon it.

Systems designers have long sought to provide programmability and flexibility in their systems designs to meet varying customer needs and evolving standards. The two most common approaches – FPGAs and ...

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are used extensively in today’s electronic assemblies and test engineers are also choosing to incorporate user-programmable FPGA instrumentation as part of their ...

Systems companies like FPGA because it gives parallel processing performance that can outdo processors for many workloads and because it can be reconfigured when standards, algorithms, protocols or ...

FPGAs are getting larger, more complex, and significantly harder to verify and debug. In the past, FPGAs were considered a relatively quick and simple way to get to market before committing to the ...
