How to Describe a Digital Circuit for FPGA?

When dealing with processors or microcontrollers, we can create a routine for them to follow using predefined programming instructions tailored to that specific processor.

So, in the world of processors, the programming language is like a tool that helps you convey your ideas to the processor.

But what happens when we shift our focus to FPGAs?

How do we go about describing the digital circuit we've envisioned or designed on paper for FPGAs?

In this video, we'll delve into the process of describing a digital circuit for an FPGA or more specifically for the implementation software.

FPGA vs Processor: Which Wins the Speed Race?

In this video, we're going to dive into the distinctions between FPGAs and processors.

Chances are, you've had some experience with processors like ARM, AVR, or DSP.

If not, you've probably experimented with programming for your computer, using languages such as C, BASIC, Pascal, or others.

Now, here's the thing: when you step into the world of FPGAs, you often bring along your programming mindset, and that can lead to some challenges.

Working with FPGAs requires more than just coding skills – you need a solid grasp of hardware design principles.

So, in this video, we're going to break down the differences between FPGAs and processors.

Our goal is to help you transition into the mindset of a digital hardware designer and leave behind programming-centric thinking.

What Is an FPGA? – A Fresh Perspective

Before we start working with FPGA, it's important to understand what it actually is.

Surprisingly, even people who have been working with FPGA for a long time often don't fully grasp its nature.

Some of them still think they're coding for a processor like ARM, AVR, or DSP when they write FPGA code.

This is a common misunderstanding, and we're here to clear that up today.

So, it's crucial to address these misconceptions right from the start and try to eliminate them before we dive in deep.
