Power When You Need It

Aldec Harnesses Massive Server Capacity

Warning! We are going to say the “C” word in this article. If you can’t take it, just stop reading now and save yourself a lot of heartache and grief. We know a lot of you are sensitive on this topic and have deep-rooted emotional issues about it. Our advice is to seek professional counseling.

For those of you who are less delicate (we assume you’re still reading), we proudly present a system that has the potential to accelerate your design verification efforts beyond anything you could currently achieve. You know how it goes. You do your initial debugging just fine with your local copy of your favorite HDL simulator, but then you reach a point in your project where you need to crank some serious vectors through that bad boy. That’s when it gets tricky.  Read More

I would like to use the MachXO2 pico to teach the robotics team that I'm coaching, www.landroids.org, about FPGA. They are well versed in Arduino, the MachXO2 Pico will provide the next step in their training.

I think, in processor architecture diagnosis, the term is no longer "hyperAptiv" but "Application Deficit Disorder" - it's when you have a great new processor but not many applications run on it yet...
