What if you could use software to design hardware? Not just any
hardware--imagine specifying the behavior of a complex parallel
computer, sending it to a chip, and having it run on that chip--all
without any manufacturing? With Field-Programmable Gate Arrays
(FPGAs), you can design such a machine with your mouse and
keyboard. When you deploy it to the FPGA, it immediately takes on
the behavior that you defined. Want to create something that
behaves like a display driver integrated circuit? How about a CPU
with an instruction set you dreamed up? Or your very own Bitcoin
miner You can do all this with FPGAs. Because you're not writing
programs--rather, you're designing a chip whose sole purpose is to
do what you tell it--it's faster than anything you can do in code.
With Make: FPGAs, you'll learn how to break down problems into
something that can be solved on an FPGA, design the logic that will
run on your FPGA, and hook up electronic components to create
finished projects
