Chart Watch: Embedded Processor Cores For Fpgas

摘要

In the past, developers used FPGAs mainly for prototyping and verifying ASIC designs, not for commercially distributing the design. Now that's changing. Every year, more developers are deploying their SoCs in the programmable logic of FPGAs instead of in the fixed logic of ASICs. Although FPGAs are still economical only for lower-volume or higher-priced embedded systems, those thresholds are gradually changing in their favor.
