  2. EPROM Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) • Fine-grained reconfigurable hardware • Gate-Array: regular structure of “logic cells”, connected through an interconnection network • Configuration stored in SRAM, must be loaded on startup FPGAs  FPGA Tool Flow  System on Chip (SoC)  SoC Tool Flow  Demonstration

  3. HDL(VHDL /Verilog) Synthesize Netlist Map Place Route Bitstream FPGA toolflow • Hardware design is traditionally done by modeling the system in a hardware description language • An FPGA “compiler” (synthesis tool) generates a netlist, • which is then mapped to the FPGA technology, • the inferred components are placed on the chip, • and the connecting signals are routed through the interconnection network.

  11. Advantages • Fewer physical components • Shorter development cycles • Field-programmable (updates, new features...) • Possibly higher performance through on-chip integration • Signals on a chip can typically be clocked higher than signals across board traces • Optimization between modules possible • Partial reconfigurability • Exchange peripherals while the rest of the system keeps running FPGAs FPGA Tool Flow System on Chip (SoC) SoC Tool Flow  Demonstration
