Graidi, Here is what I want in an FPGA tutorial: I want to learn Verilog (not VHDL) an I want to use Xilinx (just not Altera at least) I need you to recommend an FPGA that is under $125 USD. (I bough the Open3S500E because of my parameters and it comes with peripherals that are familiar to me coming from some Arduino tinkering and there are several tutorials specific to it I found.) As soon as I have purchased the FPGA, I want to jump right into the next lesson even though the FPGA is on it;s way still so use EDA Playground or something? Maybe talk about what FPGA programming entails like test benches? I don;t know what they are. Design Verification, whatever that is? I need you have a plan for me to spend less than $500 USD over the course of a roughly 6 month set of lessons for the FPGA, books I will need, etc. I assume it would take you 2 years to make 6 months of good tutorials going through explaining and showing FPGA development. Maybe longer? Doesn't seem easy coming from someone who has some really crappy tutorials that took a while to make. ZipCPU seems really cool. MIAOW Architecture really interests my goals to create a video card for a Raspberry Pi on an FPGA. I have a large google doc of FPGA references that i have amassed for almost a year now. I have written about 10 lines (yes, 10 whole lines) of Verilog and I want that to at least double in 2019. If not seriously be about 30,000 lines. If you need more request, info, etc, I would LOVE to help in any way possible.

Greidi* sorry.

Not liking the idea?

I'd like to know what devices one could harvest fpga's from.

It'd be nice to see an FPGA and see some hands on use of it as well as applications. Sometimes I get lost in mere words and real examples are great.

When your system in development is extremely complex, the existence of bugs is very likely. Using reconfigurable hardware gives you the possibility to deploy fixes, updates or enhancements with ease. That is a great feat.

do you have any idea where there are videos describing these uses in more detail?

In comparison with ASICs, FPGAs provide a lower logic density and higher energy consumption, so they are less suited for most kinds of low-power consumer electronics.

Hello! Thank you! I agree with you, and yes, wherever you need data to be fetched in parallel it would be great. This makes it great for video processing applications and in other areas. Well, telecom yes - but Xilinx has different RF boards for it. Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Alex, I've not worked with TensorFlow; thus, I'm not sure if I would be the right person to say whether or not it would be easier to set up Everest or the TPU. Anyways, I thank you for bringing up the Xilinx Everest Chip - l'll look into it a bit more (the Tensor flow comparison as well) and I'll make a dedicated product review video about it in the future (either when the chip launches or few weeks before the chip launch). I'm excited to see in 2019 how it turns out as they have put a lot of money and time into developing this chip over the past four years, and knowing they are trying to make the programming experience more software based. I hope to see a significant acceleration towards AI and dive into it in the long run.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. I look forward to hearing what you think! Alex

Alex, not a problem! Thank you so much for your interest and support, glad to have you as part of this community!

Neha Thanekar, thank you so much for reaching out and leaving a comment! Please, check out my tutorial videos in this playlist kzfaq.info/sun/PLqOe1_kmWOx0oLBHI8O8WNO0QRjU8nzDD this introduces the Xilinx boards, how to get the software, and how to get started with programming. Let me know if this helps!

This might be what you want: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j92klrF0lcmueKs.html (audio is not great, sorry).

Vivado is the synthesis/placer part of Vitis for building the hardware. Vitis moreover has tools to develop the software of the embedded system.

@@NoSpeechForTheDumb, thank you very much!

Hi @Sung In Kim, thank you for your input! Is there a specific difficulty level you want for the project ideas, such as easy, moderate, or hard?

Ruben, Greetings from the US! Anyways, I'm glad you found my channel. Yeah, I've done similar projects - I would recommend using the development board I'm using in my tutorials, which is Real Digital's Blackboard (although there's no link to purchase it), or Digilent's Zybo board (with the Zybo board you need to get an Bluetooth Module Pmod as well - you can look for it on ebay maybe to get a cheaper used one). Using the SoC will give you a good way to utilize the software to set up the communication via bluetooth. and the FPGA will give you great parallel control for the motors (servos or DC motors). But if you are fairly new to FPGAs I would recommend starting with the basics; in the future I'll be doing projects like this to create some cool systems! Let me know if I can help you out in any other way! :)

That is great! I'll keep that in mind, I look forward to seeing more content of you about opensource FPGAs IceTool but also about Quartus ll. You know zybo board seems too expensive to me. I realized FPGAs has an amazing world behind it and I'm quite interested in it. You got a new subscriber man! Keep doing

Glad to hear it! And the price point is totally understandable - I'll look into this a bit more to find boards that can do essentially the same with less $$. Also, I'll try to get into Intel FPGAs as well at some point, but I'm still figuring out a way on how I can do it. Since I'm doing these videos as a hobby thing right now - I can only post 1 video per week. I'll try to get to a point where I can do this as a full time job so that I can focus on creating more content. Anyways! Glad to have you as my subscriber!

Awesome!!

Hi Ruben! I found this development board that might peak some interest in you - check it out - zedboard.org/product/minized

Hello, You can find some FPGA development boards that are good to use from my website www.simplyembedded.net/xilinx - these are some boards that are good for beginners. (Also, those are affiliate links, so if you purchase something on Amazon through them you can support me like that). Hope you have a great day! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Darshan Ganji, no need to call me Sir :D, call me Greidi, please! LUT stands for LookUp Table that is essentially an array of data that consists of inputs and outputs. The inputs are mapped to outputs. For example, you could map out a sinewave pattern (or a set of colors) so that each input (index) would have a corresponding output for the sine wave amplitude (or certain color). Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
