FPGA is a logic matrix configurable chip.

Several open hardware projects use FPGAs, such as

  • Minimig FPGA
  • ...
  • Balloon Xscale + FPGA board
  • The Open Graphics Project (OGP) is developing graphics cards with fully published specs and open source drivers. Since the first version will be a FPGA, is also collecting information on FPGA programming and interfacing.
  • ...
  • ... (Add other open hardware projects I'm forgetting to this list)

Verilog ... Xilinx ... Altera ... Lattice ...

Verilog

It has been suggested that [[::Verilog|Verilog]] be merged into this page or section. (Discuss)


VHDL

VHDL (VHSIC hardware description language) is commonly used as a design-entry language for designing digital circuits as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
