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!

    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 find FPGAs interesting, but beyond my current capabilities to use.

    I try to follow all of the projects and blogs, most of which confirm that they are not something I can do any more.

    When you have a good requirements fit, a FPGA can be very useful, but I do worry that some people are trying to force fit them into projects better done with other hardware/software solutions.

    Having done DSP work, I can see where an PFGA solution would fit in the relms of various real time projects.

    I still have to review things from the blog, when I recover from the flu.

    FPGA projects are fun. Some FPGA projects are quite designer-friendly.

    Unfortunately I am suffering from ADD issues which makes learning new technical things very difficult.

    Sorry, it's hard for me to express myself in English. I hope that contact with the element14 community will make those issues stop going any further.
