When you think about hardware description languages, you probably think of Verilog or VHDL. There are others, of course, but those are the two elephants in the room. Do we …read more Continue reading Do We Need a New Hardware Description Language?
[Mike Engelhardt] is a name that should be very familiar to the hardcore electronics nerd. [Mike] is the developer responsible for LTSpice, which is quite likely the most widely used …read more Continue reading QSPICE Picks Up Where LTSpice Left Us
The Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a powerful tool that is becoming more common across all kinds of different projects. They are effectively programmable hardware devices, capable of creating specific …read more Continue reading A Cycle-Accurate Sega Genesis with FPGA
We’ve seen some pretty incredible hacks using the Raspberry Pi 2040. However, one of the most exciting bits of hardware onboard is the Programmable I/O (PIO). Not content with it …read more Continue reading Bringing The PIO To The FPGA
Custom semiconductor chips are generally big projects made by big companies with big budgets. Thanks to Tiny Tapeout, students, hobbyists, or anyone else can quickly get their designs onto an …read more Continue reading Tiny Tapeout 3: Get Your Own Chip Design to a Fab
[Sebastian Holzapfel] has designed an audio frontend (eurorack-pmod) for FPGA-based audio applications, which is designed to fit into a standard Eurorack enclosure. The project, released under CERN Open-Hardware License V2, …read more Continue reading An Open Hardware Eurorack Compatible Audio FPGA Front End
[Bob Alexander] is in the process of designing a homebrew discrete TTL CPU, and wanted a way to enter schematics for digital simulations via a Verilog RTL flow. Since KiCAD …read more Continue reading Create Your RTL Simulations With KiCAD
Ever want to play with an FPGA, but don’t have the hardware? Now, if you have one of those ever-abundant Pi Picos, you can start playing with Verilog without getting …read more Continue reading Want To Play With FPGAs? Use Your Pico!
[Vuong Nguyen] clearly knows his way around artificial intelligence accelerator hardware, creating ztachip: an open source implementation of an accelerator platform for AI and traditional image processing workloads. Ztachip (pronounced …read more Continue reading Ztachip Accelerates Tensorflow and Image Workloads
Fifty years ago, Hewlett-Packard introduced the first handheld scientific calculator, the HP-35. It was quite the engineering feat, since equivalent machines of the day were bulky desktop affairs, if not …read more Continue reading Remoticon 2021 // Rob Weinstein Builds an HP-35 from the Patent Up
