Success requires “true information” and “high cognition”. Research report sharing platform is available for subscription! Since last year, I have been paying attention to FPGA, and this year it has finally gained attention in the capital market. 1. A brief introduction to what FPGA is. The full name of FPGA is “Field Programmable Gate Array“, … Read more
1: FPGA and Productivity FPGA is known as a universal chip that can achieve almost any function through logic programming. For more details, refer to “Talking about FPGA – ‘The Universal Chip?’”. So the question arises, how difficult is it to use FPGA to accelerate artificial intelligence and implement deep learning algorithms? It is quite … Read more
Source: Internet Compilation Learning FPGA yields different answers depending on the level of the learner. First, let me say that those who say not to use development boards are beginners. I categorize FPGA proficiency into four levels: egg level, beginner level, intermediate level, and expert level. The questioner is likely at the egg level! They … Read more
Author: AMD Engineer Aravind Babu This article introduces the prerequisites for using PetaLinux on any platform. PetaLinux is an embedded Linux software development kit (SDK) primarily used for FPGA-based system-on-chip (SoC) designs or FPGA designs. Installation Requirements Minimum workstation requirements: 8 GB RAM (minimum recommended for AMD tools) 2 GHz CPU clock or equivalent frequency … Read more

Introduction — In FPGA-based image acquisition and display systems, large-capacity and high-speed memory is often required. Among various random access memory devices, SDRAM is an ideal choice due to its low cost, small size, high speed, and large capacity. However, the control logic of SDRAM is quite complex, and the timing requirements are very strict, … Read more
In FPGA design, frequency division is often required. For even frequency division, the code is relatively simple; the clock is inverted when the counter reaches half of the division factor, thus completing the even frequency division.For odd frequency division, the approach is slightly more complex. First, two temporary frequency division variables need to be defined: … Read more
Introduction This article is dedicated to those who have just embarked on the embedded path. Here, I briefly document my learning experiences and some insights I have gained along the way, hoping to help beginners avoid unnecessary detours. The image above shows a corner of the laboratory where I have worked and studied, looking quite … Read more
This is also a series of articles, stemming from previous discussions with fans in the comments about the efforts made abroad for FPGA development or entry-level engagement. Each article will introduce a specific FPGA development board, focusing on the development methods prepared for the board (which are quite different from those in China). Today’s main … Read more
