The FPGA Programming Handbook - Second Edition

Introduction to FPGA Architectures

Whether you want to accelerate mathematically complex operations such as machine learning or artificial intelligence, or simply want to do some projects for fun, such as retro computing or reproducing obsolete video game machines (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki), this book will jumpstart your journey. There couldn’t be a better time to get into this field than the present, even if only as a hobby. Development boards are cheap and plentiful, and vendors have started making their tools available for free because of their low-cost, smaller parts.

In this book, we are going to build some example designs to introduce you to FPGA development, culminating in a CPU-based project that can drive a Video Graphics Array (VGA) monitor. Along the way, we’ll interface with Double Data Rate (DDR) memory, temperature sensors, microphones, speakers, and serial ports, often referred to as Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UARTs).

In the this chapter, we will be exploring Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and the underlying technology that creates them. This underlying technology allows companies such as AMD (formerly Xilinx) to produce a reprogrammable chip from an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) process. By the end of this chapter, you should have a good understanding of an FPGA and its components, having covered the following topics:

  • What is an ASIC?
  • Introducing FPGAs
  • Evaluation boards

Technical requirements

This chapter is an optional overview chapter and doesn’t have any technical requirements. We will look at the underlying FPGA and ASIC technology and primitive logic gates in this chapter. If you are already comfortable with this information, please feel free to use this as a reference and jump ahead to Chapter 2, FPGA Programming Languages and Tools.

I bought the book on January 19th but couldn't get access to the book. After 3 days of communications with support team I finally got answer that book is not ready yet (but somehow you sold it to me) and will be released on 30 May 2024! And now you are asking about my purchase experience, so it will be ZERO. Thanks

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
