What FPGA content would you like to see?

FPGA and element14

I am very happy to say we have lots of big, exciting things in the pipeline for FPGA and the extended element14 family, but I want to take this time to ask the community what FPGA content interests you?

Do you want some reviews of FPGA kit?

Do you want Tutorials, if so on what?

What would help you to work with FPGA?

We have some things in the works but we always want to add quality content to our community.

If you have something you want to share in the FPGA space but want help, kit or just to run it past us, we will always try help!

1) tutorials on VHDL and/or Verilog
2) tutorials on vendor tools (i.e. Xilinx, Altera, Modelsim?)
3) information on where FPGAs have advantage over microcontrollers/processors (i.e. parallel versus serial logic)

David,

Thanks for the feedback. You pretty much read my mind and my plan. I have been looking at tutorial content to see what's viable. I have been thinking about bringing in tutorials on the Vivado Design Suite (Xilinx). Point 3 is good. But also was thinking about FPGA vs FPGA Soc's (programmable SoCs). A number of dev boards exist that use this architecture for their purported advantages.

There is an upcoming CEC training session on programming FPGA devices at Digikey.

You might want to check out what they have available.

Here's a link: https://www.designnews.com/continuing-education-center
Course runs from 9/11/17 through 9/15/17, each day with a 45 minute lecture plus chat. It sounds like a decent syllabus, but it doesn't say which FPGA family it's going to use or whether there's a specific board.
