Inside any electronic device, from an old television remote to a global positioning system, there will be at least one microcontroller unit (MCU) and, in many cases, several. MCUs are used in ...
Microcontrollers and FPGAs often work together in embedded systems. As more functions move into the FPGA, however, debugging the interface between the two devices becomes more difficult. The ...
As many as half of all embedded designs have an FPGA next to a microcontroller. The FPGA can be used to implement anything from glue logic, to custom IP, to accelerators for computationally intensive ...
Today’s marketplace is getting heavily disrupted by the current semiconductor chip shortage that has hampered our manufacturing production lines. This is evident by the limited supply of products ...
Fig 1. Intel’s E600C blends an Intel Atom processor with an Altera FPGA on a multi-chip package linking the two using PCI Express links. Fig 2. Xilinx’s Zynq-7000 EPP puts a full dual-core Cortex-A9 ...
Altera’s non-volatile MAX 10 FPGA (Fig. 1) makes a great platform for custom microcontroller applications using soft-cores like Altera’s 32-bit NIOS II processor. It has on-chip flash and RAM ...
If you hadn’t noticed, we had a bit of an FPGA theme running at this year’s Superconference. Why? Because the open-source FPGA toolchain is ripening, and because many of the problems that hackers (and ...
Austin, Texas, June 18, 2024: AMD and VORAGO Technologies are pleased to announce that AMD Space-Grade Kintex UltraScale FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) can be reconfigured by VORAGO’s ...
