    Recovering Lost Bitcoins: FPGA vs GPU Performance Comparison

    Hello all, I have a question regarding FPGA performance vs GPU (I've reviewed it before). I’m trying to recover lost bitcoins that I mined in the early days. I knew it was important to keep the private key but in the end I somehow managed to lose my private key but I still have 24 out of 32...

    Can FPGA/CPLD Replace PIC for Faster Laboratory Timers?

    Dear Sirs, I'm using Microchip PIC's as programmable laboratory timer among other things, but the 100ns instruction cycles are not adequate anymore. So I thought of beefing it up with a 5M40Z MAX-V CPLD which has 5ns end-to-end delay, bought the programmer and downloaded the Quartus Prime Lite...

    Holiday project goals for undergrads with an FPGA?

    It's a student project for vacation research, under-grad, not sure how many of us, there'll probably be 4-6, we're motivated. My original proposal was to get an FPGA (on an Artix-7 or Z-board) to run a CID camera sensor as a dumb peripheral, do some basic image processing stuff on it (perhaps...

    Labview FPGA control AD9854 help

    I am trying to write a Labview program to control two AD9854's which will generate the signal for AODs in an optical trapping setup. Unfortunately I'm not an EE and I don't have much experience with Labview so I was wondering if someone already had the VI's to do this with Labview FPGA. We have...

    Python Model an FPGA FM Radio Demodulator in Python

    I am trying to model an FPGA FM radio demodulator in Python. I will have a mixer that converts an FM channel to 36MHz IF, and I plan on undersampling this IF signal. If in the digital world (my Python model), I have a high sample rate FM signal at 1.2MHz, should I be able to resample to a...

    FPGA Reconfiguration using 2 processors.

    Hello, I've been working on the topic since 8 months and different types of reconfiguration using single soft core is done. I need some help on the procedure as well as theory about using 2 cores. On the FPGA board that i use, there is PPC hardcore and microblaze softcore.

    RC circuit, discharge with digital signal from FPGA

    Hi all, my task is to measure the charge time of an RC circuit with a counter using FPGA, once the cap is charged, i must discharge it again for next input. Idea is to discharge it with a signal from FPGA, but what sort of circuit would allow this without discharging the cap prematurely...

    FPGA speeds and recommendations

    I don't know much about FPGA's but I think I need one for a pet project. I had a few questions for any Verilog pros. Do they make them fast enough to process bytes at 48 MHz (DSP basically). I'm sure they do make them somewhere but can you get one cheap? Can you load a VHDL program to an...

    Which Course to Choose: FPGA with VHDL or Control Systems Design?

    Hello folks, I am having hard time to decide which class to take in my senior year. I have two choices: Embedded Systems with primary focus on FPGA and VHDL and another class is Control Systems design. I like both of them, but the problem is that they are offered almost at the same time, so I...

    FPGA or Microcontroller for Robot Project?

    Hi I'm currently doing a design project for my engineering class, and we have to select either an FPGA and use VHDL or a microcontroller. The project entails following a line, and using IR communication to change the colors of LEDs. I know that FPGAs might be better because you can do...

    FPGA Troubleshooting: Spartan 3E-1600 MicroBlaze Dev Board

    I've recently purchased an FPGA development board from Digilent, particularly the Spartan 3E-1600 MicroBlaze development board. Back in school, we did some very basic VHDL development with Cypress WARP but ran as simulations. I wanted to expand on that and learn something that the industry...

    Working with an FPGA to Count Coidncident Pulses

    I am currently trying to program an FPGA to mimic a coincidence counting module. What I basically need it to do is a modified AND operation. The inputs are square, 5V pulses from photon counters. Because I am working with two photon counters (that are the same model) but due to imperfections in...

    Analog Front End or ADC with FPGA

    Let me preface this by saying I am very new to FPGA's. I am trying to find a way to sample 3 channels simultaneously at a resolution of 16 bits per channel and at a rate of at least 600KSPS per channel and then 2 channels at a resolution of 16 bits at a rate of at least 200KSPS. I've decided...

    Flexible Sensor to FPGA interface board?

    I currently have two custom PCBs that perform a variety of functions on signals to and from different sensors, including quite a bit of buffering. The PCBs are between the sensors and a PC104 SBC. I want to take the design to a more functional level by implementing as much of those two PCBs on...

    FPGA VHDL tristate buffer for ram inout signal

    First off, this is not school related as my semester just ended and I've just been playing around with my fpga. My problem is that I'm trying to write to the ram module then read from it. I understand a little of the tristate buffer and inout signal but we didn't really go over this in class...

    Ideas for a Project Using an ASIC vs FPGA

    Hello, I am looking for any ideas for a project where an ASIC would be used over a FPGA and something that cannot be done with microcontroller as much. Not tooo complicated but something that could be accomplished within 2 months or so... so not tooo simple either... i guess... Thanks in advance.

    FPGA Programming: Mechanism for Setting Transistors

    What is the mechanism used for programming FPGAs? Is it the same as for EPROMs? I know (although not sure this is correct either) that in EPROMs, for setting a transistor to "1" a control gate is used which is placed in the oxide layer of the MOS transistor and by applying a voltage between...
