Produktinformationen zu „Beginning FPGA: Programming Metal “
If you've already tinkered a bit with Arduino or Raspberry Pi, and you want to get more hands-on with hardware, or even if you're completely new to electronics and you just want to dive in, then Beginning FPGA is the book you need.
FPGA stands for Field-Programmable Gate Array. It's an integrated circuit waiting for you to tell it what to become. Unlike a microcontroller board like the Arduino, you don't really "program" an FPGA and tell it what to do; instead you use a hardware description language to tell it what to be. And what can it be? It can be just about anything you can imagine! In this book you'll use it to create a pressure sensor, an air quality sensor, and just for fun, the KITT car display from Knight Rider (or Cylon eyes if you prefer to think of it that way). You'll also learn how to make your FPGA talk to a Raspberry Pi.
Along the way, you'll learn the theory behind FPGAs and electronics, including the math and logic you need to understand what's happening -- all explained in a fun, friendly, and accessible way. It also doesn't hurt that you'll be learning VHDL, a hardware description languae that is also an extremely marketable skill.
You don't need an electronics engineering degree or even any programming experience to get the most out of Beginning FPGA. Just bring your curiosity and your FPGA. In this book, you'll be using the MicroNova Mercury, a very affordable and breadboard-friendly FPGA development board.

Klappentext zu „Beginning FPGA: Programming Metal “
Use Arrow's affordable and breadboard-friendly FPGA development board (BeMicro MAX 10) to create a light sensor, temperature sensor, motion sensor, and the KITT car display from Knight Rider.You don't need an electronics engineering degree or even any programming experience to get the most out of Beginning FPGA: Programming Metal. Just bring your curiosity and your Field-Programmable Gate Array. This book is for those who have tinkered with Arduino or Raspberry Pi, and want to get more hands-on experience with hardware or for those new to electronics who just want todive in.
You'll learn the theory behind FPGAs and electronics, including the math and logic you need to understand what's happening - all explained in a fun, friendly, and accessible way. It also doesn't hurt that you'll be learning VHDL, a hardware description language that is also an extremely marketable skill.
What You'll Learn:
- Learn what an FPGA is and how it's different from a microcontroller or ASIC
- Set up your toolchain
- Use VHDL, a popular hardware description language, to tell your FPGA what to be
- Explore the theory behind FPGA and electronics
- Use your FPGA with a variety of sensors and to talk to a Raspberry Pi
Who This Book is For:
Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other electronics enthusiasts who want a clear and practical introduction to FPGA.

Autoren-Porträt von Aiken Pang, Peter Membrey
Aiken Pang was born in Hong Kong in the early 80s just in time for the home micro-computer revolution. He developed an interest in computers after finding an Apple IIe at his uncle's home, installing a TV card, floppy drive and loaded his first game (Pacman) by himself at the age of 10. Since then he has taught himself a number of programming languages and built his own computers from scratch.Aiken followed his passion for computing into more formal studies and holds a BEng in Electronics Engineering and an MSc in Computer Engineering from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell respectively. He has been using VHDL to design hardware in FPGAs for over 10 years.
He lives in the USA with his wife France and their daughter Mayah.
