Graphical tools for system design are also available for FPGA programming. These software tools are now being created to work closely with FPGA-based hardware platforms to make custom hardware even ...

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 ...

Since their beginnings, FPGA’s have been notorious for being hard to program. That could be changing with the new Vitis Unified Software Platform from Xilinx. Five years in the making, the Vitis ...

FlashPro4 is hardware programmer supporting Actel's flash FPGAs: the IGLOO series and ProASIC3 series (including RT ProASIC3), SmartFusion and Actel Fusion families. It also supports FPGA embedded ...

Fig 1. Altera’s NIOS II Embedded Evaluation Kit is a platform for checking out the 32-bit NIOS II soft-core processor. Fig 2. Microsemi’s SmartFusion Evaluation Kit has an FPGA with a hard-core Arm ...

Xilinx’s SDSoC development environment turns code into FPGA logic. It targets Xilinx Zynq and Zynq MPSoC FPGA platforms. Xilinx’s SDSoC represents a major shift in support for SoC FPGAs. It opens FPGA ...

SEGGER has announced the introduction of the Flasher BitStreamer, a new embedded software solution that expands the programming capabilities of its Flasher family of in-system programmers (ISPs).

Sandra Rivera, Altera: »FPGAs are particularly suitable for AI applications at the edge because they offer low latency, deterministic behaviour and high efficiency – this is especially true in areas ...
