Exploring FPGA: Can We Make It Arduino-Compatible?

FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Arrays. It allows the creation of custom hardware, eliminating vendor-related costs. Unfortunately, the complexity of most chip designs still exists, which is why most people prefer to use off-the-shelf chips, often accepting their limitations instead of taking on the challenge to achieve the hardware optimization and efficient design they … Read more

Exploring Embedded ARM Cores in FPGAs Beyond ZYNQ

Soft Cores vs Hard Cores Embedded processor hard-core FPGAs, also known as SoC FPGAs, integrate hard-core processors into the hardware design from the outset, allowing for pure hardware implementation without consuming FPGA logic resources. The hard-core processor and FPGA logic are largely independent of each other. In simple terms, SoC FPGAs combine an ARM processor … Read more

FPGA + ESP32: Create an Arduino-Compatible Spartan Edge Accelerator Development Board

When talking about Arduino, few people associate it with FPGA. Because the two have nothing in common, to be frank, they are quite the opposite. Arduino is cheap, easy to learn, and simple to use, but it cannot handle complex computations and large projects. FPGA is flexible and powerful, easily handling complex computations such as … Read more

How to Install Desktop Linux on Windows for FPGA Development

by
How to Install Desktop Linux on Windows for FPGA Development

Running EDA tools like Vivado on Linux is significantly faster than on Windows, likely due to optimization issues. Therefore, choosing to develop on Linux is a wise choice (mainly because it’s free). In China, people are accustomed to the Windows system, so Linux is less commonly used. Is there a way to work on documents … Read more
