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...

A few days ago, I posted on LinkedIn, X, and Reddit/fpga about the idea of hosting a UK FPGA conference later in the year. I believe...

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....

One of the devices we often use for our client space projects is the PolarFire and PolarFire SoC. Over the years we have done several...

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...

Not everything we do is FPGA-related; we often design boards and develop embedded software applications. More often than not, the project...

One of the boards purchased in 2024 which was sat in my backlog was the Microchip Curiosity Nano evaluation kit. This board contains a...

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

A couple of weeks ago I started exploring, fixed and floating point math and the differences between them in FPGA implementations. Of...

As many engineers are, I am a big fan of sci fi, growing up I used to watch Star Trek The Next Generation religiously every night here in...
