In the industry, we can find many different applications, and most of them, especially in recent years, these applications require some kind of computing. Acquiring data on where the application is, and processing the data later in any other location,…
On this blog we have seen many projects where we have used FPGA, in general using development boards, unfortunately, there are not many cases where I can show you an FPGA in a real application, but this is one of…
Let’s come back 20 years ago. FPGA are mystical devices used in exotic applications. They came from programmable PAL memories that could be used to execute simple logic operations, and not only simple but the amount of logic that they…
On my job, I use python almost every day to develop auxiliary scripts for executing tests, automate some CICD flows or control equipment to emulate hardware. I have to say that I am very comfortable with Python because, for my…
When we talk about SDR, in general, we think of closed devices that are connected to the computer and, using some kind of software, proprietary or open source, can acquire and, most important, decode the radio signals. Sometimes the decoding…
If you are working with FPGA, maybe you use different environments for write your code and for implement your design or perform continuous integration (CI/CD). In my case, in my job I use a Windows PC for write the code…
Many people who never have used a Hardware Description Language (HDL), either Verilog or VHDL, thinks that these languages are weird. Actually, being able to generate code that is executed in parallel make the head of software developers explode, yes…
The calculation of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), like filtering, are by far the most common digital signal processing algorithms. When I started to investigate about the DFT, I noticed that I needed a large background before understand well how,…
FPGA manufacturers are determined to show us how their devices can do very difficult things like process video, detect in that video who is wearing a mask and who is not, detect if the people is happy or not… all…
When I started to develop designs for FPGA, the thing that I missed from the digital signal processors is the debug capabilities. I used to debug my programs using JTAG that performs “real time” reads of the data memory, so…
