I just finish reading the interesting thread of PIC vs AVR. I am not in the embedded area but have a related question. In recent Xilinx marketing stuff for Spartan-3 FPGA, it indicates that the 100K-gate FPGA now reaches $2 a piece, and the costs of softcore 8-bit processor (PicoBlaze) and 32-bit processor (MicroBlaze) are reduced to $0.10 and $0.48. Despite of the marketing hype, do you...

Hi all I have designed some FPGA based applications but very simple ones. Now I want to find some methods/algorithms in FPGA design to optimize power. I search many documents (IEEE,..) but they are not in detail. I need some free documents and open source (or only detail steps) to implement power optimize algorthm. So i hope somebody can help me with useful links! Thanks

I'm after a bit of advice on selecting some parts for a 'hobbyist' project which may eventually turn into a commercial product... I'm developing a board with an FPGA which will produce RGB digital output ultimately for display on RGB (15kHz), VGA and PAL/NTSC composite video. Not necessarily simultaneously - worst case is a different FPGA image for the former two options. I've some e...

Hi, i am implementing a PCI card using a FPGA. I am performing my tests on an old Pentium III computer that is basically fully based on the PCI bus. The OS is Linux. It is all working fine incluiding mastering but something weird happened today. I made a mistake at my FPGA code and at some point the FPGA started to burst write to to the computer and never stoped. I was controlling the compute...

Hi, are there any fpga/embedded/pcb design courses online or in toronto that i as a newbie could take as a newbie. I'm new to the field of fpga and I have got a xilinx starter kit with the spartan III chip. I'd prefer to go through a full fledged instructor led course where i learn hardware design. Does anything like that exists? Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hi, I'm having trouble figuring out how to architect a robust system using the FTDI chips in FIFO mode. I'm pretty sure some of you have been through this before. I'm using the FT2232H in synchronous FIFO, but my concerns are general. The system has PC FT2232H FPGA, and is used to both stream/receive data between the PC and the FPGA. I'm wanting to stream continuous data at about

I'm about to design a PC104+ board for a client with a largish FPGA on it, this will be driven by an SBC running XP embedded. A couple of factors mean there could be a delay of ~1 second until the FPGA has fully configured and I'm worried the SBC could have enumerated the PCI bus before the FPGA is ready to respond. I know in Linux you can force the system to re-enumerate the bus fairly ...

My target platform is an ARM-7 with an SPI connection to an FPGA. I need either device to be able to initiate data transfer, the approach I'm considering is to use a single additional data line from the FPGA to the ARM, "FPGA data waiting". When the ARM is notified of data waiting to be pulled back, it will initiate a rotation. If there happens to be data ready to go both ways, then the singl...
