One of the great things about the FPGA world is the range of different development boards available to us. This diverse selection enables...

Over the past few weeks, I have been bringing up Ethernet on several different custom Kria systems. Each design utilized multiple GEMs...

We developed the Spartan 7 Embedded System tile as we thought it would be great for use in control plane applications. Of course the...

I have mentioned several times that I am a big fan of model based engineering especially for development of FPGA and embedded SoC....

One of the most popular real time operating systems at the moment is Zephyr. Zephyr has a long history which stretches back to Virtuoso...

One of the changes to tooling I have not written about to much is the Vitis Unifieds ability to create heterogeneous system designs, our...

Recently, I was asked to present to a group of engineers about design reuse with respect to FPGA design. This is something which ,  as a...

Programmable logic is great for implementing mathematical algorithms for a range of applications from filtering to machine learning....

The ability to get data on and off chip, at high bandwidth is critical, we are fortunate that our FPGA provide a range of high...

One of the great things about FPGAs is not only the configurable logic blocks, BRAMs, DSPs and a host of other useful peripherals but...

A few weeks ago I was on a call with a one of the industrial architects at AMD Tomas Thoresen who mentioned he was working on a series of...

Next to a simple register, a shift register is one of the simplest synchronous structures we may want to include within our FPGA designs....

Designers are well aware of the acronym SWaP-C, which relates to the Size, Weight, Power and Cost. FPGAs can be very useful in assisting...

I have had the Alinx VD100 Versal Edge AI platform for a little while now. A few weeks ago, I set it up in my office so that I could...

One of the great things about writing this blog (there are many) is when people as real world questions as they need help. Last week,...

I always remember when I was learning digital electronics at university, the lecturer John Rowe passing comment that a professional would...

One of the things I really enjoy is creating image processing solutions as you might notice from the projects I publish on Hackster. My...

Recently I retired my old trusty TI85 calculator and replaced it with a more modern scientific calculator, which could even run python....

I thought I would kick off 2025 with a look back at what we had achieved over the last year, it has been one of my busiest years yet and...

Normally, we clock the logic within our FPGA design using clocks either provided externally or generated internally using MMCMs, PLLs, or...
