Over Christmas I have been thinking about writing another book. This time much more focused on FPGA design, and will be print on demand to keep the price down. The idea I have is How to design an FPGA. This book is not a book that is going to teach you detailed FPGA implementation techniques. There are plenty of those which exist already. However this book is going to teach you how to design an FPGA from concept to completion, what to consider and why, how to go about it and more importantly how to measure you are on the right track. Why am I writing this book? Well as a consultant I see a lot of different FPGA designs. What is interesting is that it often not the detailed RTL which goes wrong. Of course at times it does, but what leads to most project failures is the overall approach taken, the architecture, tool chains used, design decisions, verification approach etc. Ultimately reading this book should help you do three things Understand the development process, and trade-offs for an FPGA design from begging to end. This will enable you to develop an FPGA design process which is suited to your application. Ensuring all of the key aspects are covered. Enable you to create for each engineering project an FPGA design and development plan which tailors the above design process for the specific FPGA (or group of FPGAs) in development. Enable you to make the right architectural decisions for your FPGA implementation and not just jump in to the coding. Sections will include - Process, Architecture, Scripting, Tools, Simulation, Analysis Is this something that might interest you? What would you like to see added? #fpga
