Ben Heck goes over some CPLD and FPGA basics

December 15, 2011

Ben goes over some basics of CPLD and FPGAs. If you need a ton of power and a microcontroller just won’t cut it, it might be time to move up to a CPLD or an FPGA. Watch as Ben shows us some results of the first few Hello World like programs he runs on an Altera CPLD. Looks like there would be a steep learning curve to become proficient in VHDL or Verilog.

Ben, that was a great video. I would like to hear more from you on the FPGA topic.

I can’t wait to get into some FPGA stuff, but just don’t have the time or the cash for a dev board right now.

There’s the Z-80 (upgrade) that one guy made, that incorporates a FPGA that you can access. So for about $80, you get the Z-80 system, plus the FPGA, in a sort of “dev” board.
