    Learn the basics of what is an FPGA. This video discusses the history of FPGAs and how they have advanced over time. It discusses some applications that are possible. Finally I introduce the two languages used to program FPGAs: VHDL and Verilog.

    this might be the clearest video about FPGA introduction I've ever found, thank you

    Thanks man, I have programmed only in high level (C/C++) and this whole world is new to me. Great explanation and it left very clear what is the motivation for using these devices today.

    Thanks for the video.
    I have a suggestion for you, whenever you want to explain something that may be a repetition and not directly related to the topic of the video, you could put a pop-up on the screen informing the viewer from which minute you will be go back to the main topic.
    Cheers

    Hey, I'm 39 & Sadly, I really don't know how to program😢
    But, I Just wanted to say that This video is truly exceptional & helped me understand something I never thought I could grasp.
    I look forward to watching all your other videos!
    Over the last 5yrs or so Ive been tinkering w/ & some basic stuff like DIY drones, MCU &, Raspberry pi stuff etc...
    Even though a lot of stuff is way over my head, I Just really enjoy trying to absorb any & all tech knowledge & over time I pick up on bits & pieces (on a conceptual basis).
    Thanks again!

  • @sludgefactory241
    @sludgefactory241 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I stumbled upon this video because I was interested in a company called Analogue. What they do is make high end retro clone consoles. Like the NES snes Sega Genesis, ect. They use fpgas to make consoles that are the closest 1 to 1 experience with modern tv outputs available, but the cost are high as well. Being a total noob, I was curious as to why, and you do a good job in explaining what fpgas do, so thank you

      ​@@hailsatyrdefinitely yes but FPGA is still a niche technology. There are some geographical hotspots where the regarding industries are settled, so you need to be ready to move.

    • @BillAnt
      @BillAnt 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You've mentioned that a CPU can only process one command at a time, while that's true, modern multi-core CPU's can do many in parallel, sort of like an FPGA. But of course FPGA's are still very good at huge amounts of parallel data processing. ;)

    Certainly, when you showed 3 gates in an old chip I'm surprised you didn't put any NAND in there; that's more important because of the added inversion and what could we really accomplish with no inversion

  • @HelloKittyFanMan..
    @HelloKittyFanMan.. 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    At first I was thinking that FPGAs were the flash version of processors and their instructions. But now I guess that doesn't make sense, because when you think back to how flash stores things, it can only store charges in cells that represent 0s and 1s; but not the tools that those 0s and 1s _go through_ for processing. So then it makes sense that you could not assemble the cells of data in a basic flash storage to become the tools that those bits go through. Right?
    But then that gives rise to the question: What adjustable type of semiconductor-based material _are_ the gates or/and the paths between them made of, as compared to the cells in flash storage?
