>>109032281buy dev boarddownload dev toolsread textbooks that target that devboard and manualsdev
>>109032305which one thoi remember buying some chink fpga board a few years back out of curiosity and all their linked software didnt work so i ended up not learning shit
beagleboard has a couple cheapish fpga boards
>>109032537i'm happy with my terasic dev board, hence why i posted an image of itlook over dev boards being offered and select one with an FPGA and peripherals you want to work with.the de2-115 probably isn't available anymore, but it has a shit ton of peripherals on it that make it fun to play with.
>>109032721>the de2-115 probably isn't available anymoreA shit ton of unis use it for their labs. I'm sure there's still places supplying them.
>>109032281Unless you are planning on working for some boomer era defense company, what's the point of going into fpga work instead of embedded?The fpga job market is small and as saturated with indians as every other hardware subfield.
>>109032281>I'm so quirky, I'm doing obscure highly technical stuff that was always associated with 50 yo neckbeards or 3rd worlders heheWaiting for the sewer cleaner arc, once every other trannie will jump on the hype train and attention whoring as an engineer won't be as profitable
>>109032799i did work at a defense company where they used them thats what got me interested
>>109032886so you built weapons that killed women and kids because the jews told diddling don to do it?how about you find a rope and hang yourself?
>>109033212what the fuck are you talking about
>>109032281FPGAs are pretty useless unless you’re doing something that requires sub nano second compute or massive throughput with specific data transfer protocols. So multi gigabyte data transfers to satellites or high speed missile controls. Otherwise they are massive overkill
>>109032886>>109033212Exactly if you work for a defense contractor you’re a kike and should kys. Imagine thinking killing children is worth getting paid for
>>109032281Just buy a superstation, brah.
>>109033222you heard me you piece of shit.
>>109032281still refusing to wear a bra huh
>>109033438i didnt i dont think you're within earshot
>>109032281picrel
>>109033212>>109033293At this point I'm so tired of not being able to afford anything or living paycheck to paycheck that I'd kill every single palestinian with a rusty spoon for decent pay
>>109033540Don’t get your hopes up, immigrants will do it with half a rusty spoon each and for half the pay. You never stood a chance
>>109032883>>109033504Eleonora is a girl.
>>109033889ok
>>109032281That's a man.
>>109034254Yeah, a Man (I'd like to) Anally peNetrate
>>109034325I don't think Eleonora would appreciate that, benchod.
>>109032281>this E-thot againi have patreon fatigue
>>109034370Beautiful phenotype that only a true European Medi can possess, may she have progeny who carry it on for another 2000 years
>>109034370She's literally Italian
>>109032537I am kinda happy with the Olimex GateMateA1-EVB.It has a bit weird architecture and the open source toolchains might not be that beginner friendly, but they are open sourceand 50 bucks for an fpga dev board is not very much
>>109033283>Otherwise they are massive overkillthat's the thing.Because of GPUs and general performance increase they have become so incredibly niche, that most people just dont need them.Either they are a massive overkill or they are way too slow (if you dont do heavy parallelized stuff)
>>109033889god damn my dick
>>109035757iirc gook fighting jets have radeon instinct cluster inside it
>>109033889Can only see the back. Not front. Need to confirm.
>>109035779Because they probably don't have as many safety regulations as germans or even less than burgers.It's no problem if someone dies or they get spied on
>>109036019>muh safety
>>109032281can she do porn already?
>>109032281Mogged by Laurie
>>109036045Laurie is the best girl. Tfw there will never be a better girl in tech that is not onions or normie pilled
>>109035743How's the toolchain? Is 20K 8-luts enough? I only used Xilinx FPGAs before, but the price on these is very nice.
>>109036106The toolchain generally works, I am not too much of an expert so I can't say much about quality comparisson.But I have used yosys and all of the tools since I ecp5 and never had big problems. The biggest gripes I have is the timing analysis. It's hard to find out where the problem is. Maybe I am just too dumb for it. One day I want to build me my own mapping tool to map the output nets back to the input source, which should be possible.So yeah, for timing stuff I generally spin up a vivado project and at least there find out what the critical path is.Well, I guess the space is just fine for fun hobbyist projects (soft-core CPU, some little pipeline). It's just space limited.IIRC, or at least I read that somewhere, the goal of cologne chip with gatemate was to be a drop-in replacement for old spartan 6 appliances, so the performance might be on that level, maybe a bit higher
>>109036161But I am really looking forward to their next chips.8-LUTs could be pretty fucking nice and will see how the open source shit evolves.
>>109036106PS: back in the day I bought the ulx3s which was cute and fun.The same guys now develop a new board with the cologne chip stuff https://github.com/intergalaktik/ulx5m-gshttps://github.com/chili-chips-ba/openCologne
>>109036161>>109036168>>109036171Nice, I have the iCE40 devboard, but I haven't touched it in years. But it should also be supported by the open source toolchain.What are you designing in? Verilog, VHDL or something more "modern"?
>>109036302I am using VHDL. GHDL works pretty nice for simulation stuff and has cool errors messages (i compiled it with llvm backend. Apparently the gcc backend is even better, but the compilation is weird af)
>>109032281*FUCK* FPGA programming. I have to do that for work and it's all piles of bad software maintained by contractors with short tenure who know less about it than you do. None of the documentation makes sense, half the shit doesn't work, and then they charge you for the privilege of using it. Fuck FPGAs, find any other way to solve your problem, make a board out of fucking discrete logic if you have to.
>>109036457HDL Design is not programming. PNR output is not software.And then they say AI is better than developers. Well, yes of course.If you don't even understand what register transfer logic is, then you shouldn't touch that shit
i wanted to replace some glue logic with an FPGA then i realized it's a retarded pain in the ass, as any physical space savings are negated by other considerations or complexities.>probably need buck converter and I/O level shifting due to low VDD>cheap FPGAs like gowin are impossible to buy in single quantity ICs>mega retarded programming tool chain in most cases>for some reason 99% of FPGAs only have volatile memory
>>109036407We already have a working VHDL backend for synthesis??? Praise Ada.I used GHDL for simulations, it’s very nice. Have to give it a try. Does it support VHDL-2019 already? I think I would miss interfaces from SV.
>>109036541Yes there is a plugin for yosys https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl-yosys-pluginwhich is just baked into the most commonly used suitehttps://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-buildIt just works for me. Kinda comfy if you dont want to compile all the needed tools yourself
HOLY FUCK ITS THE SIMP THREADSIIIIIIIMP BOYSSIMP NOWSIMP HARDER
>>109036457>i worked in a shit environment with bad people so fpgas are bad retarded ass mindset >>109038685i just bought an ICEsugar and am wondering where i should start
>>109033889has she posted more workout stuff since?
>>109035788Watch the webum to the end.>>109039185Not that i know off, some anon posted that webum i'm not on her patreon to know about it and kemono is kill.
>>109036045That's a man.
