Building a Custom Zynq-7000 SoC Development Board from the Ground Up https://hackaday.com/2025/04/20/building-a-custom-zynq-7000-soc-development-board-from-the-ground-up/ #AMDZynq-7000SoC #fpgaboard #hardware #PCBHacks #FPGA #ARM #arm

Do people just not use PLD or CPLDs anymore? I'm working on a project that they'd be kinda perfect for, but it seems like it's kind of a backwater. And, if people are still using them, what are the best (if there are any at all) open source toolchains?

Thanks!
(Boosts welcome)

After getting a basic ALU design done yesterday & starting a **very** rough start at a microcodeish thing, today the first design of the controlunit & overall cpu design comes together, so it can actually calculate an addition from two arbitary registers and store the result back into a register of choice! :3

Still a lot to go but excited it works already somewhat! #hardware #fantasyconsole #diy #verilog #systemverilog #software #cpudesign #hardwaredesign #fpga #fpgadev

Intel Sells Altera Business | Phoronix

｢ A decade after Intel acquired FPGA maker Altera for $16.7 billion and recently working to make Altera an independent company, Intel announced today it has sold 51% of its Altera business in a deal that values that business at $8.75 billion.

Intel announced today that Silver Lake will acquire 51% of the Altera business ｣

Soon™ im Stream. Nach langer Wartezeit hat Gideon die ersten Ultimate 64 Elite-II Boards fertig. Mit Mail Nummer #10 war ich glücklicherweise ganz vorne mit dabei. Heute Abend gibts nochmal das "alte" FPGA Board #fpga #ultimate64 #c64 #commodore

I'm super happy that my latest chip Greyhound has been accepted for production!
It was designed with open source EDA tools and the IHP Open Source PDK.

This isn't a new project, but it's new to me and very interesting. tiny-gpu, a Verilog implementation of a toy GPU.

Triangle rasterisation is surprisingly complex. There are multiple approaches and decisions to make on which pixels to include. As part of testing my Earthrise #FPGA graphics engine, I've created visual tests to complement more automated testing.

So, hamwa also geschafft:
– den #FPGA für die #Tomographie-Reko zumindest gebootet
– aber noch nicht drauf eingeloggt
– das 3D-Röntgenmikroskop von Kegelstrahl (hohe Auflösung) auf Parallelstrahl (hoher Durchsatz) umgebaut
– anjustiert
– den neuen #FPGA für die Triggerpulse eingebunden

Jetzt können die Doktorandys mal bisschen justieren, ich fahre kurz nach Göttingen zur Plakettenzereominie¹, heute Abend mitm Chef zurück.

Heute wird mal wieder das #MiSTer #FPGA Board auf den aktuellsten Stand gebracht. Das lag jetzt jahrelang nur in der Gegend herum. Wird also Zeit, dass ich es mal wieder aus der Mottenkiste hole. Ich meine, ich hätte es mir 2019 gekauft, als die Preise noch nicht so hoch waren.
