If you’ve got a BeagleBone and an FPGA board you should give this Bitcoin mining rig a try. The hardware uses brute-force to solve hashes, looking for the rare sets that can be used as digital ...

When you first learn about digital logic, it probably seems like it is easy. You learn about AND and OR gates and figure that’s not very hard. However, going from a few basic gates to something like a ...

This reference design and the associated example Verilog code can be used as a starting point for interfacing Altera FPGAs to Texas Instruments' high-speed LVDS-interface analog-to-digital converters ...

Editor's note: This is a brief excerpt from article on EE Times' Programmable Logic Designline. To read the full article, click here. Sven Andersson's tutorial “How to design an FPGA from scratch” was ...

FPGA is widely popular in systems for its flexibility and adaptability. Increasingly, it is being used in high volume applications. As volumes grow, system designers can consider integration of the ...

Given that the industry is beginning to reach the limits of what can physically and economically be achieved through further shrinkage of process geometries, reducing feature size and increasing ...

There are an increasing number of ways to do machine learning inference in the datacenter, but one of the increasingly popular means of running inference workloads is the combination of traditional ...

The objective of this course is to learn how to develop, program, and use Softcore Processors with associated IP integration. To accomplish this, the Nios II Softcore Processor from Intel Altera is ...

With the increasing size and complexity of FPGA devices, there is a need for more efficient verification methods. Timing simulation can be the most revealing verification method; however, it is often ...

For the most part, embedded FPGA can be viewed as a “black box,” which is effectively as an RTL engine. However, sometimes it’s helpful to understand what’s going on underneath the hood to evaluate ...

FPGAs can be targeted at a wide array of automation hardware, including vision systems. In a recent blog post, The Coming Age of Vision Guided Robots, the impact low-cost imaging sensors are having on ...
