Introduction to FPGA – Software Tools and FPGA Types

As you dive into the world of FPGA design, you'll encounter a variety of software tools and FPGA types.

However, as time passes and your experience grows, you'll generally work with a limited and specific set of software tools, depending on the FPGA brand you've chosen.

So, what's the reason for this diversity in software tools, and which ones will we actually be using for crucial designs?

Introduction to FPGA — Implementation Steps with FPGA

If you're a digital designer looking to implement your idea on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), there are a few things you need to know.

First of all, your idea needs to be expressed in a standard way that existing software design tools can understand. Once you've done that, you can use these tools to transform your idea into data that the FPGA can work with.

Now, one thing to keep in mind is that there's no standalone processor in an FPGA, which means you can't use programming instructions to create a software routine. Instead, you'll need to describe your digital design in a way that's specific to the FPGA.

So, how do you actually describe a digital design for an FPGA? What are the implementation steps you need to take?
