We've come a long way in our love affair with FPGAs. What do you think?

i love my fpgasI've been working in the element14 community since 2016. I can remember back then, the Raspberry Pi seemed to be the element14 community's first love. Of course, Arduino tried breaking us in two, to quote an old Joe Jackson song. But it didn't work. Then a few years later we got serious about our relationship with FPGAs. And the community hasn't stopped loving it.

But our love affair with FPGAs has changed, as all relationships are bound to do. Years ago, we were just trying to get to know each other. But our relationship began warming up with a few webinars, which led us to our Path to Programmable 1 and 2.

We then sweetened our love affair with FPGAs with AI and machine learning from Project14. And after all these years we are finding new ways to get to know one another.

Perhaps you can tell me how well our love affair with FPGAs is going by voting in the polls below. Thanks!

    It is never too late to learn. Right now I am learning Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis with an FPGA. I find it fascinating. Here my last blog just out of the oven. SystemVerilog Study Notes. DDFS…

    Fun survey. Number 5 dealt with the qualities you consider when choosing an FPGA. I like number of LEs optimized for price. I didn't see this option reflected so I had to choose other. I am always on the…

    I really like FPGAs but I'm not deep in love to them, at least not yet, I don't have professional experience using FPGAs, only in college with a Spartan 6 board.

    I think your experience is common. I gather FPGA design isn't a big focus in EE programs. Perhaps if you have the time, you can attend a webinar/workshop and learn some more about the technology. Thanks for responding

    I think it depends. On FIT CTU in Prague there is very high effort on FPGA. It is much bigger than for example on MCUs or other embedded technologies but FPGA technology is very complex and even after several courses of FPGAs, Verilog and VHDL I have heard some things on wbinars for a first time.
