What is an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)? | FPGA Concepts

Boards Compatible with the tools I use in my Tutorials:

What is an FPGA? Do you want to learn about Field Programmable Gate Arrays? Or, Maybe you want to learn FPGA Programming? Well, you are in the right place! I'm Excited to help you learn and understand this concept!

My name is Greidi and I'm an Electrical Engineer, I'm here to help you understand the basic concepts of FPGA. There are so many advantages to FPGAs and where they are used; thus, let me know if there are topics you would want me to elaborate on! Although this video is intended for beginners, if you are already familiar with FPGA concepts, I hope you can still gain some knowledge from this video. Every Wednesday I'll post a new video on my YouTube channel, similar to this one!

What would you like to learn about FPGA Programming? I would truly appreciate your input!

[Jolopy]

This is the best basic video I've seen on FPGA's gets really down to the main points and what people need to know

[FPGABeginner]

I tried to start with FPGA programming, but didn't really get my head around it.
I found the VHDPlus IDE and with the simple language, embedded libraries and other features it helped me a lot to make some cool projects :)
Just in case someone has the same problem

[TDBRICKS]

Taking a Vivado class right now. Really needed to hear this! Thank you

[skipperkongen]

Very clear content and verbal presentation. For me, the flashing text disturbs more than it helps.

[udaykumarperaka]

Simple explanation of FPGA.really good

[KrishnaPrasad-nqxp]

Nice video! Simple, clear and understandable explanation! Really liked it!

[saanvisharma]

Can I say something!!!

I didnt click the screen but 5 tips have appeared :) - a feature or a dark silicone?

[morganfreeman]

great video, very informative with good editing

I would like to learn how to use xilinx boards and software to implement our code written in verilog.

[charankumar]

This is very good. Sir i would recommend you to go with a course of digital design using verilog. It would be a great help for us.

Hi I just bought a Xilinx Arty s7 board it has a Artix 7 fpga looking to learn from the ground up about fpga. I enjoyed your video!

[bigmaddad]

Thank you for this video. I was wondering if you are able to explain if my idea of using an array of FPGA modules is possible. I have a small electronic manufacturing facility with a pick n place, small re-flow oven and the ability to have prototyping for PCBs I might need along the way. An array of CPUs and GPUs only allow input/processing/output, which restricts them from processing any different from their static functions. If I am understanding you, then an FPGA can be reprogrammed to process the same input more efficiently to say refine or change the output? So an array of FPGAs could allow input/processing/output1 or it could be reprogrammed to allow Sorry for typing so much.

[salvadordavidcasasgarcia]

Could you please explain the relationship between Vivado and Vitis?
Is Vivado included in Vitis?
What is the purpose of each of them?
What is the system generator and in which one is it included?
How is Simulink used with these softwares?
Thank you very much!!

[Trashbag-Sounds]

LookupTables, Multiplexers, full-adder and "D-Fluff Fluff"

Can anyone tell me the names for the 4 components? xD
Every time I hear "D-Fluff Fluff"

[funtofanda]

HI Your video is very nice. Could you show the process of downloading code to FPGA any simple code...

[AjinkyaMahajan]

Nice explanation. would like to learn more about Soft IP fabrication.

[Star]

I am new to the field and just starting to learn about FPGA. I didn't fully understand what the big deal was about being reprogrammable, but your explanation was very useful. Thank you!

One of the most popular uses of FPGA recently is for cycle-accurate emulation of old computer and game console hardware, though it is not emulation in the typical sense but an actual recreation of the original hardware in hardware. Some examples include MiSTer and Mega-65 emulation platforms and the Vampire accelerator board for old Amiga computers.
