Executive Summary

FPGAs, or "Field Programmable Gate Arrays" show enormous promise for embedded systems - from ASIC prototyping to medical to military to telecommunications. FPGAs are exciting and powerful! But they have their downside as well. This Insiders' Guide outlines the FPGA ecosystem, provides an in-depth survey analysis, offers vendor interviews, and details the FPGA vendor community.

This guide first overviews the ecosystem around programmable logic. Second, it provides the results of an intensive survey of FPGA users and vendors in the real world. Third, key vendors provide in-depth interviews on programmable logic, tools, services, and software. And finally, eg3.com provides detailed appendices of the best books, web resources, news, companies, websites, etc. in the FPGA ecosystem.

VersaLogic Corp. is proud to announce the Ocelot, a small, fanless single board computer (SBC) featuring great performance, very low power operation, and the new SUMIT™ (Stackable Unified Module Interconnect Technology) expansion interface. The Ocelot takes advantage of all the best features of Intel's latest generation Atom processor (Z5xx series), which was designed specifically for embedded applications - very high performance(up to 1.6 GHz), radically reduced power requirements, and ground-breaking power management capabilities, extended temperature operation...
