Insiders' Guide: FPGAs, Tools, and Boards

FPGAs offer amazing capabilities for many embedded systems - from network infrastructure to military to medical to consumer and beyond. Yet they are complex, there are many FPGA choices, and there are many difficult-to-find ecosystem partners (hardware, software, and service) that can make your design job quite a bit easier. Alternatively, bad planning can make your FPGA project a nightmare. Before you commit to an FPGA, FPGA tool or IP, or FPGA-based boards, shouldn't you explore all alternatives? This Insiders' Guide provides detailed analysis, interviews, and survey results for engineers and programmers who are evaluating FPGAs, tools, and/or boards.
