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

Regular readers of this blog will know that I am a big fan of PYNQ, it is one of the easiest to use frameworks, which opens up the...

Over the years I have talked a lot about how to use FPGAs and SoCs and I’ve even shared tips and advice for how to start your own...

Regular readers of this blog and my Hackster projects will note that I tend to use either bare metal applications or PYNQ when developing...

One of the first articles I ever wrote was about how FPGAs perform fixed-point math. Understanding this is important because FPGA-based...

When we are verifying a design or bringing it up on a board, it’s not uncommon for either reset or clocking issues to cause it to not...

A few weeks ago, we looked at what to do if you experience issues with DDR3 when bringing up a new board. In this blog, we are going to...

Last week we examined the Video Frame Buffer Write (VFBW), which is capable of writing image frames to an external memory. This week, we...

When I started my design career twenty plus years ago, one of the very simple rules we had for significantly smaller and less flexible...

Implementing a MicroBlaze processor in a FPGA design is very popular in many applications. The MicroBlaze allows us to handle serial...
