Let’s see if we can build an FPGA-based system. The biggest challenge is that everything involved is completely different from software and hardware design. It’s a new ball game!
We will need:
some hardware (evidently, an FPGA is still a chip, just a different one) a design, this is essentially the schematic and wiring diagram a software tool chain to “synthesise” the design into a “bit stream” a way to upload that bit stream into the FPGA a connection between the FPGA and the outside world a healthy dose of curiosity, concentration, and time… There are too many unknowns and new aspects to this to tackle it all at once.
