But instead of sending it to the CPU, the hardware configuration for the NIOS CPU gets bundled with the code into a single configuration file you can program with the standard Intel programmer.

LEON is a SPARC CPU used in a lot of European spacecraft. That’s the CPU that eventually drove the Pano for [Ttsiodras]. The FPGA is large enough that he was able to get two 50 MHz cores in the box.

Most new FPGA designs incorporate one or more hard and soft core processors. Arm's AXI4 interconnect is one way to add peripheral support to these cores.

Many FPGA designs use an embedded processor for control. A typical solution involves the use of a soft processor such as a Nios, though FPGA SoCs with a built-in hard processor have become popular too ...

Embedded FPGA Processor Definitions Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) increase the range of options available to FPGA designers by enabling hardware implementation with the flexibility that ...

One processor architecture for AI, embedded systems, and robotics RISC-V scalability ensures seamless expansion across diverse applications Seed funding boosts Ubitium’s drive to redefine chip ...

This integration of the FPGA with the Xeon CPU has taken a little more time than expected, but Intel did show off a prototype based on a 15 core “Broadwell” Xeon processor and an Arria 10 GX ...

Tachyum said this week it had completed the final build of its Prodigy FPGA emulation system, which is an important milestone for any design. In addition to that, the company said that it would ...

Chip giant Intel has been talking about CPU-FPGA compute complexes for so long that it is hard to remember sometimes that its hybrid Xeon-Arria compute unit, which puts a Xeon server chip and a ...

While the primary use for an FPGA processor has been for smartNICs that offload tasks from server CPUs, Intel is now looking to broaden its application from the data center to remote, edge ...

What can be said with certainty is that FPGA vendors are now expected to provide embedded microprocessor cores, tools, peripherals and other intellectual property (IP), interconnect IP, reference ...
