#PRGA New features coming to PRGA 0.3.5: memory initialization and frame-based programming protocol! Now you can load the firmware of a hard embedded CPU during FPGA programming, or load the pre-trained weights of a machine learning inference model 🤪🤪

New tutorial's up for #PRGA! Check out how to design your own FPGA with a hard PicoRV32 core, and then implement PicoSoC on it: prga.readthedocs.io/en/lates… Any other hard component you want to see in the next FPGA? Let me know and let's try it!

Check out PRGA!
Considering putting an embedded FPGA in your next awesome chip? Check out PRGA: parallel.princeton.edu/prga/ And here's an example: PicoSoC implemented on a heterogeneous FPGA with a hard PicoRV32 core in the middle!

In a "post-Moore" effort to increase computing performance, a team at Princeton has built a hardware platform that allows different kinds of computer cores to fit together, allowing designers to customize systems in new ways. t.ly/752k @JBalkind

Can you spot the difference? Sure you can! Librecores.org now properly renders images and GitHub links in the project description. Your project is not yet on LibreCores? Add it at librecores.org/project/new. #fossi
We are very happy to announce our eight @gsoc students. Check out fossi-foundation.org/2020/05… to see what the projects they will be working on. And most important of all. Make sure they all feel welcome as new members of the FOSSi communities. Hope you all have a great summer ahead!
