How about a FPGA community? This could be interesting to share knowledge / learning and help each other. I just created one, link below! nitter.app/i/communities/16700339…

Grateful should be the word, if it was not for the US, UK and Canada you would still be a Greater German terriority.

UK wages summed up. Had an approach from an agent representing a AI researcher with a PhD from Cambridge in AI /ML, undergrad there as well, looking for £35000

Its called being competent ;)

This is what the people who have never run businesses or created value before do not understand. All they are doing is killing demand to take risks and create. Which will mean lower tax receipts, they are acting like radical students who never grew up.

Work on the turret continues, we have created a controller now thanks to reverse engineering the processor memory. Sadly though it looks like the thermal imager is dead, no vacuum and unresponsive to most things we have tried.

A million and one insane regualtions which drive up the prices

That's ok we feel nothing but shame and disgust weak men like you have ruined the UK.

This is going to put more pressure on state schools not less. What's harsh but true is it is the parents responsibility to feed their children not schools or government or mine.

Hmm see the results of your lifes hard work go to your children who you love. Or be stolen by the government and given away to buy votes and dependency. Tough one! Mate all tax is theft, every single penny of it.

It's a racket and it keeps everyone held back and dependent on government. Imagine what you could do if you kept the fruits of your labour and had say a simple 10% tax.

I am travelling in the US this week, surely I am not the only engineer who takes, dev boards, oscilloscopes, USB Analysers, Thermal Imagers, JTAG etc with them am I ?

Legally it is the landlords. I love this people jumping through hoops to say it is ok when ordinary people would be crucified. She either lied or is incompetent either way she has to go.

Luckily most SW engineers have no idea what a register, or bit is never mind how to bias a transistor or terminate a transmission line.

Do you not think you played a part in this, only a few years ago you wanted to punish people who did not want to take the covid vax. You and the rest of the media are just as guilty as the establishment, you became entwined with it, failed to question or hold to account.

Today I also launched the FPGA Horizons Journal. Inspired by the Xilinx Xcell Journal. This Journal contains multiple articles on FPGA and Board design across vendors. Available quarterly, in print at events and digitally. It is the narwhal's horn

No she deserves everything she gets, her utterly insane economic polices have caused ruin. She has never had a real job, never created anything and lied her way to the role.

The FLIR Turret Lives, had to make a control PCB but we are making progress with it.

People still build wonders, they are different scale which enable us to communicate across the world instantly, fly planes, even leave the planet

FPGAs are ideal for image processing, join me on May 8th for a look at how we can build image processing chains in FPGAs. This session will cover everything you ever wanted to know about image processing from sensor selection to how to create an image processing pipeline in your AMD FPGA. We will be using the MicroBlaze V RISC-V Microcontroller to control and configure the image processing chain. app.livestorm.co/adiuvo-engi…

Can we keep pubs open and close down government early.

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

There are a lot of FPGA books about. This one is, one of the few which looks at the advanced aspects of it all. Especially when it comes to things like architecting which is always a challenge

We all remember the time I bought a Tornado F3 radar with hilarity. Well I just bought this which is a Flir SAFIRE thermal camera and Sony day camera from the late 90s anyone got a manual ?

I would quit on the spot.

About 4k per term at my kids private school. Much better than state education. Many people with salaries 40 to 60k can afford it and do.

Still using the same calculator which got my through my degree last century (1995 I started my degree)

Not everything we do is FPGA, we also do flight software. This dev board has an Arm Cortex M7 which runs at 100MHz. It provides SpaceWire, Ethernet, CAN, 1553 and of course SPI, I2C etc making it ideal for many applications. Several of our missions this last year contained these processors.

The rich are taxed, the problem is government spending. You have the money to help the poorest you waste it on overseas aid, net zero, dodgy wars etc.

Not only the economic policies I want to copy the constitution as it is including then 2nd. To limit government.

I would rather we banned government from social media.

You dropped the ball on covid, much worse no questioning, suggesting people exercising sensible caution be cast out of society. Makes you wonder really how good you (the media) actually are.

But your ideological attack on private schools, will make state schools worse, more pupils, busier classrooms, more demands for state school funding while the VAT raise does not cover the costs incurred.

One of the many use cases for FPGAs is signal processing and working with high speed ADC and DACs. This weeks blog is a long one looking at the combining the ZU 1CG board, Zmod Arbitrary Waveform Generator, and PYNQ to create a project which we can use to generate waveforms. #fpga #digitalsignalprocessing #dsp #embeddedsystems #electronics #embeddedsoftware adiuvoengineering.com/post/m…

From the first to the latest it has been a great journey. Just sat down to start on the next. The FPGA Architecture book! #fpga

FPGA and SOC are great for applications where real time control and precision are needed, Motor Control being one. Motor Control has a wide range of applications from robotics, and industrial machinery to aviation, defence and medical applications. I recently wrote a eBook on motor control using programmable logic. It covers most things from the basic principals of motors, motor control concepts and how to work with more complex motors such as BLDC/PMSM motors, with both six step and of course Field Oriented Control with Space Vector Modulation. #fpga #motorcontrol #electronics #powerelectronics #embeddedsystems #embeddedsoftware You can download it here reach.avnet.com/AMD-WP-Intro…

This is cool a Lattice FPGA on a SD Card from Signaloid, uses OS tools and can be programmed just dropping it in your SD Port on your PC.

FPGAs are great for DSP, over the years I have created a lot of material on this area. My blog this week collates all these resources into a handy reference, so no matter if you want to learn about fixed or floating point math in FPGA, rounding, algorithms, creating filters or working with the frequency domain this one is for you. adiuvoengineering.com/post/m…

Not that I live and breathe FPGA, but I just stood up for 8 hours, no preparation with a pen / white board and taught FPGA design to five people. I really wish I recorded it as it was actually amazing.

If you knew anything about technology you would know the flipper and others are just simple ARM processors with basic sensors attached. Nothing ground breaking this will not stop a thing but makes it look like your doing something. The trick of politicians everywhere and it is why people are fed up of you as everything else just crumbles.

Top 10% pay 60% of all taxes. They pay more than their fair share. Do you ? The country will thrive when people stop expecting government to address every issue and people stop expecting gov to pay for them or their bad decisions.

Just committed the third batch of these, never thought it would be so popular

Ahhh Americans / Europeans, look at how the Japanese evacuated the A350 accident earlier this year. It is why I keep my passport, wallet and phone in my pockets when flying.

It's what happens when you make UK uncompetitive with taxes and regulations.

What if I told you AI wrote it all? AI is getting interesting, this morning my task was to integrate the W5500 Eth wiz. I added in the SPI driver to Vivado, then created a new blank Vitis workspace and project to test out just the ethernet application. On a whim I asked ChatGPT5 to write me a C Driver for the w5500 running on MicroBlaze V with AXI QSPI interface. Out dropped a three C files, and python file for the host machine. All worked first time. You still have to know what you are doing, but it is a great productivity enhancement.

Nothing better than a Friday afternoon spent working on hardware!

A little fun on a Sunday looking at a PID algorithm

Good we do not need that level of government control

Tip for the day, make sure you reset your Flash based FPGAs. A client did not and it lead to a 2 year delay on their project.

It will be framed as to be used for the worst people who do not live nicely in society. Once the law passes you find yourself on one for criticising the government or not following the group think. Our politicians are utter scum

Sadly it is a reflection on our society where someone must be to blame. It sounds like a utterly tragic accident.

No it's a national embrassement. No other country has turned it's health service into a religion. Most have better outcomes as well.

What people are missing is 100k allows you to have a life which most of our parents generation had on 1/3 that and they were not killing themselves with stress either to get to that level. Oh and they had paid of houses and pensions remember those.

Sat in a hotel room, writing FPGA code. I think over the years I have written a significant amount of VHDL and blogs in hotel rooms. Mind my book on designing embedded systems book was written mostly on planes.

Not everything has to be complicated. When we are getting started with FPGAs there are a lot of little gotchas and things which we need to learn. Interfacing with the real world is one of them especially where switches are concerned. Over the weekend I created a simple yet detailed tutorial on working with switches and FPGAs. Including why we need to synchronise and de-bounce them. Check it out hackster.io/adam-taylor/back…

Why can we no longer own software? A few years ago I bought an @altium Perpetual license, this makes sense for a small company to ensure we do not lose capabilities if there is a bad year etc. This morning I receive an email saying Altium will stop supporting perpetual licenses and that at the end of my support period the version will freeze unless I move over to time based one. The email had standard stuff about, supporting customer needs etc. In reality they want to ensure you keep paying. Looks like Kicad it is then for all out new developments

The age of Kings and politicians is over

Time flies when you are having fun, my 600th blog on FPGA development. This week looking at how to implement a PID. A very useful algorithm for many applications. adiuvoengineering.com/post/m…

A little fun creating a demo for next week, based around the Spartan 7 Tile, running on the tile carrier card.

"Be quite they will hear you!"

It is keeping people down not lifting them up. It is pure ideological hatred of people trying to improve themselves or children's opportunities. But that's the left they drag down not lift up.

New calculator, time to retire the 30 year old TI85

Engineers these days are getting younger and younger. Merry Christmas and Happy New year all!

Coming soon our first On Board Computer designed for LEO and GEO missions FPGA and Processor.

No your policy claims the state owns people and can make them serve at great impact to their opportunities and future. People said you were a possible future leader they are wrong if you cannot grasp compulsion is wrong. You deserve zero seats.

You are lying there are no mask announcements at airports.

Actually Anna politicians like you did with your sanctimonious approach to people as you made decisions which made them poorer and thier lives harder. While telling them ir was for thier own good. No surprise people voted for Brexit and none that Reform are doing well if you have a vague feeling for the pulse of the country outside the metropolitan bubble.

Not a companies job to absorb increased taxes. You voted for these idiots enjoy the results. It is always the same with socialist no idea at all and just make everything worse.

Embedded Linux plays an important part in our AMD SoC developments. Over the years I have created several blogs, projects and tutorials which can be of great use to get started when developing embedded Linux solutions such as. Creating a Linux VM hackster.io/adam-taylor/how-… Working with IOCTL SPI and I2C adiuvoengineering.com/post/m… UIO adiuvoengineering.com/post/m… adiuvoengineering.com/post/m… Creating Applications hackster.io/adam-taylor/zubo… Real Time Preempt Kernel adiuvoengineering.com/post/m… Two hour workshop adiuvoengineering.com/perfec… #fpga #embeddedlinux #embeddedsystems #engineering #electronics

Every officer who does this should face complaints, private prosecutions what ever it takes to get them to realise this is not acceptable. They want to cause people stress and worry it is time they had the same.

I love FPGA for Image processing applications. This week I am looking at how we might select between different FPGAs for image processing applications. adiuvoengineering.com/post/m…

My latest Hackster project is walking through the creation of a FPGA Expansion Module. This enables processors such as STM32, Raspberry PI etc to access high performance sensors e.g. DAC / ADC. Using standard interfaces such as SPI / QSPI etc. #fpga #engineering #electronics #embeddedsoftware #embeddedsystems hackster.io/adam-taylor/fpga…

FPGA are great for signals processing, but many signals we want to process start out as an analogue waveform. My latest Hackster project looks at how we can design analogue front ends which can be used with ADCs and FPGAs to give very accurate results. This approach can be very important for industrial, defence, space applications etc. hackster.io/adam-taylor/prec…

The state wants you helpless and dependent on them

A little look at something we are working on Spartan 7 based dev board with a RPi 2040. To be supported by a 100 days of embedded system development course. All open source and free. Boards should be in soon, now to write the embedded system course its based on it.

Change the law then you are in power. But reality is you want this but are happy to pretend you do not.

I often get asked where people should get started with FPGAs what tools do they need boards and books do I recommend etc. Over the years I have written a few getting started blogs to help people on this amazing journey. The four blogs below are what I would call my getting started series! Resources to help get started adiuvoengineering.com/post/m… Which Development Board? adiuvoengineering.com/post/m… What Books do I recommend adiuvoengineering.com/post/m… What tools and SW do I need adiuvoengineering.com/post/m… #fpga #fpgadesign #fpgas #electronics #engineering #embeddedsoftware #embeddedsystems

There is gaslighting then there is this.

Shame the UK government is the most Anti UK government in decades.

A little weekend reading

What better way to celebrate your birthday than with a little VHDL this morning. The pleasure of just sitting and writing code at times is fantastic

This is not a win, it is a damming indictment of the quality of government and public sector. 10 years for steps is ridiculous.

4 percent of people in the UK earn more than 70k. We are poor, its time to cut cloth accordingly and structure for growth which means bonfire of public sector jobs and regulations.

FPGA design is in my soul, its been 9 years of running my own company which is trusted across the world by clients large and small and 10 years of the blog. To celebrate we had a video made about Adiuvo, its capabilities and projects.

Sunday are for simulation!

You are done mate, lockdowns, restrictions, lies, high taxes. You have not done a single conservative thing in 14 years in office. The state has grown and so to have the politicians bank accounts.

2025 is 40 Years since the introduction of the first FPGA. We have come along way from the 64 LUTs offered by the first XC2064. In 40 Years FPGAs have gone from being glue logic, to becoming the heart of the system, enabling many solutions which would not otherwise be possible. My latest blog is taking a look at a little of FPGA history. adiuvoengineering.com/post/t…

Yes hardware is hard, and comes with long development cycles compared to SW.

So far, so good, powers up, rails look good, oscillator looks perfect, FPGA present over JTAG.

looking forward to reading this

I have officially worked on 10 ish satellites. The real number is way higher as the client does not want to admit they did not have the skills internally for the FPGA or boards designs. It gets funny when you see them congratulated by politicians, you want to say I did that lol.

What her adult son does is, his and his wife's business nothing to do with Angela. Hardly relevant.

I like backing projects on Kickstarter and Crowsupply, though my accountant probably does not like it. I backed this one on Kickstarter a little while ago the Particle Tachyon - It is interesting it has 8 Processor cores, a 12 TOPS NPU, 8GB RAM, MIPI support and 5G and WiFi connectivity. Not sure what to do with it but sure I will think of something!

FPGA are great for image processing, over the years I have written lots about them. My latest Hackster project outlines everything you ever wanted to know about image processing in programmable logic. hackster.io/adam-taylor/ligh…

FPGA engineering is really bad at architecture as Stephan from mathworks points out. Visio and PowerPoint are not suitable for FPGA architectures.

Not everything we do is FPGA, we do develop a lot of software, often targeting Rad Hard processors like the SAMRH71. I like the SAMRH71 as it has a support for a lot of interfaces commonly used in space applications e.g. SpaceWire, 1553B, Ethernet etc it is great for control plane applications. In this blog I am taking a look at getting the SAMRH71 up and running. adiuvoengineering.com/post/m…

If you have a remote team, it is very important they can access hardware for testing and debugging. Taking a look this week at the infrastructure we use to achieve this adiuvoengineering.com/post/m…

No it is really not, these things never save money. They always lead to a slippery slope to the loss of more rights. That there is such a thing as the Tony Blair Institute is also appalling the man is a war criminal.

Clarkson farm was excellent, Clarkson parliament would be epic.

What worries me is none of them stopped and thought hang on a second.
