I appreciate your candor and integrity, and enthusiasm. Please: Keep it up. There are not enough independent journalists operating in our field, while there are wagonloads of cash spilling out everywhere sponsoring tailored stories in tech media. Please carry on and I hope you can find a way to stay independent and keep pushing in and reporting.
Agree 💯 with @cdwdirect , fight the good fight, keep covering the market, reporting the news. You and EETimes are the only ones out there covering facts and not bloviating on breathless/hand-waving marketing materials.
I'm a college student majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and just last term I got an Intel powered FGPA that we used for the term's labs. I can see how having smaller IC's could be a godsent for various applications, especially if one that small can do 10 gig. Seeing a new wave of FGPA innovations is really exciting to see as I approach entering the field. Great video Dr.Cutress !
I really wish there was better consumer level support for FPGA addin card. As you said FPGAs are the gold standard when it comes to retro console emulators. This is great but those cores are generally only available on specific consoles. I would love it if a FPGA maker did the basic software support to get those mist FPGA cores adapter to run from a FPGA you could install in a regular computer and call them from retroarch, emulationstation and the like. I would totally buy a FPGA for my computer if I could get hardware level emulation on it. IT is just that the current cores are only compiles for effectively emulation consoles instead of emulation software.
As someone who is currently working (newbie) with an fpga I can't agree more with the life cycle of fpga's. A lot of forums dedicated to fpga are highly active with people designing pretty advanced stuff. But the fpga's they are working with are released 8-12 years ago... The zynq series from xilinx/amd is a good example..
The Zynq series is very capable, some of the Zynq Ultra scale chips cost 1000's of dollars so their long life cycle is to be expected, many recent oscilloscopes still use the Zynq series of fpga's so they are definitely gonna stay for a while.
I just wish that I find a JOB using FPGAs that didn't require 8 years experience. I've been working with them on and off for decades, but almost impossible to get a job even with some experience.

Uh... Intel is spinning off those FPGAs
Wow, A Doppelganger 😅! I had a xilinx FPGA, tho. Yeah, I agree Techtechpotato is definitely my no1 source for staying updated on industry developments
Tiny 10GbE? I definitely need to add this to my temp sensors.
10 gigabit of temp sensor data might just be overkill :D

Love what lattice does with the open source tool chain and cutting edge tech
Remember to like the video guys! Shameless shilling for one of the best tech journalists out there!
This space has so much potential.
Damn, that medical camera and surgical robot, those are cool. Tiny boards.

Hey I'm trying to get into fpga development, can you point into those forums so i can get an idea of what's possible with an fpga? thanks!
FPGAs, the unsung heroes of tech
