Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are becoming an increasingly popular tool for applications where high performance, low latency and power efficiency are requires. Since an FPGA can be ...

This tutorial shows you how to create the hardware equivalent of “Hello World”: a blinking LED. This is a simple exercise to get you started using the Intel® Quartus® software for FPGA development.

Embedded designers have implemented heterogeneous architectures since the advent of commercially viable FPGAs. Initially, FPGAs acted primarily as glue logic for an interface between processing ...

We often think that not enough people are building things with FPGAs. We also love the retrotechtacular posts on old computer hardware. So it was hard to pass up [karlwoodward’s] post about the Chip ...

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.

High-level synthesis to the rescue? You might be surprised at how hardware designers are getting new value from HLS when designing systems with FPGAs. The numbers of applications using FPGAs are on ...

A field programmable gate array (FPGA) is a user-programmable piece of silicon constructed in very large-scale integration (VLSI) technology. The VLSI transistor-level detail is absolutely predefined ...

Programmable logic tech like Field Programmable Gate Arrays, also known as FPGAs, is a must-have toolkit for any modern circuit designer. Thanks to their expansive capabilities, these components are ...

For this year’s 7400 logic competition, [Nick] decided to build an FPGA out of logic chips (Internet Archive cached version). Perhaps a short explanation is in order to fully appreciate [Nick]’s work.

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts at SRKH Designs in Sydney, Australia have created a new Raspberry Pi hat called the NovaPi NP01. This innovative hat features a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA, designed to suit ...
