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 […]
