Really good article on FPGA, I thought.

Re: Retromagzaine
To me it seems that the FPGA article tries a bit too hard to press the design process into the "programming" mindset of a software guy.
E.g. calling hardware design by drawing schematics "Graphic Programming" sounds weird to me, especially as I do PCB design as well.
Also, the statement that "it is not essential to have in-depth knowledge of digital electronics" for FPGA design is too general.
Yes, if one does not have that knowledge, it is still possible to achieve some things.
But there are also design challenges, where one needs to go "in-depth".

Re: Retromagzaine
Hi,
I read Retro Magazine because it gives a good view on the use of computers and software that I used to use and still use, by emulation.
... and it is free.
I thought the FPGA article was confusing, and not written very well.

Re: Retromagzaine
The article was aimed at "complete beginners". Im surprised you even bothered to look at it Anyway, although I knew nothing concrete about the topic I had a general hunch on how the technology might work, and the article confirmed and coloured in much of that..Peter wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 5:44 pm To me it seems that the FPGA article tries a bit too hard to press the design process into the "programming" mindset of a software guy.
