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 ...

MyHDL is a Python module that brings FPGA programming into the Python environment. [Christopher Felton] tipped us off about a simple tutorial he just finished that gives an overview of how the module ...

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 ...

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 ...

Intel Corp. has spent a lot of effort pushing the concept of its Field Programmable Gate Arrays, which can be used to accelerate various computing tasks such as artificial intelligence and machine ...

For several years, GPU acceleration matched with Intel Xeon processors were the dominating news items in hardware at the annual Supercomputing Conference. However, this year that trend shifted in ...

Embedded processors handle the rising complexity of automation tasks by employing architectures that are quite different from those of programmable-logic controllers. It is no secret that ...

In order to understand a field as broad as embedded systems, one must conquer the basics. With the way some courses at the university level are setup, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and ...

The ubiquitous field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is finding use as a software accelerator in many applications, including the communications, image processing, biomedical, and scientific computing ...

This month, new add-on boards supported by the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black have been launched in the form of Newark Element14’s new ValentFX Logi-Pi and Logi-Bone FPGA boards. The new boards ...
