The tiny compact board called Qomu, is a capable USB device that integrates an EOS S3 low-power MCU and an eFPGA […]
Taking Advantage of Embedded FPGA (eFPGA)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/taking-advantage-embedded-fpga-efpga/
By Geoff Tate, CEO of Flex Logix, Inc. Whether you are designing an SoC, MCU or other chip, the one common heartache is “freezing RTL.” Up until that point, it’s no problem making a change or update, but once it’s frozen, the chip design is “locked in.” A change after that point could require a […]
What is Embedded FPGA — Known as eFPGA
https://www.electronics-lab.com/embedded-fpga-known-efpga/
Today’s market requirements change faster than the typical development time for a new device or the ability of designers of SoCs to know. To solve this problem, FPGAs/MCUs are used so developers can change the configuration/firmware later. As known, MCU IP is static and you can’t change the silicon design (RTL design) after fabrication. FPGA […]
