FPGA Camera Data Processing This is part 1 of a 2 part article which details interfacing a camera to an FPGA, capturing the data and then processing the data using a pipelining technique. One of the many strengths of using an FPGA is the speed and flexibility it gives to processing data in a real-time

The Problem Typical obstacle detection on low cost mobile indoor robots are usually performed using a variety of sensors, namely sonar and infrared sensors. These sensors provide poor information that is only able to detect the presence of a reflective surface in the proximity of the sensor and the distance from the surface. While in

Hardware/Software Co-design with the LOGI Boards Introduction In a previous blog post ValentF(x) gave an explanation of what FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) are and how they are a very valuable resource when designing electronics systems. The article went on to describe the major differences in the way FPGAs operate from CPU/MCU technology. Finally, it

Alternatives to VHDL/Verilog for Hardware Design Hardware description languages (HDLs) are a category of programming languages that target digital hardware design. These languages provides special features to design sequential logic( the system evolve over time represented by a clock) or combinational logic (the system output is a direct function of its input). While these

Mike and Jonathan of ValentF(x) hope to create useful blog posts that serve the purpose of helping electronics generalists to better understand FPGA technology. We hope to create some elementary blogs which walk through basics and then move to working through fun and interesting applications that use common CPU platforms including the Raspberry Pi
