Barriers to designing with FPGAs?

psymon

I am interested to obtain people's thoughts on what is stopping them diving into FPGAs. I have my own theories on this subject and will share these as this discussion develops.

 

I look forward to hearing your views,

 

Thanks in advance,

  • For me it's budget.

    Because an FPGA board is often more expensive than other development boards, I had to find some synergy.

     

    I circumvented my conscience by finding additional uses:

    - When I added the board (in my case one of the Papilio members) to my shopping cart, I went over the 'free shipping treshold'.

    - I'm using my FPGA board as a LogicSniffer compatible logic analyzer. That works particularly well for protocol analysis.
