Abstract—In recent years, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become increasingly fascinating as digital logic engines, sometimes used alone and sometimes in conjunction with a processor chip. The largest FPGA vendors, Altera and Xilinx, have invested heavily in developing DSPoriented chips and development tools. This article presents insights focusing on the evolving role of FPGAs in embedded systems.
