Do you program an FPGA?

FPGAs can be programmed and reprogrammed according to current needs, which is very cost effective in the long run. In this article, I explain what FPGA is, how it can be programmed and where it can be used.

What is Quartus II used for?

The Altera Quartus II design software provides a complete, multiplatform design environment that easily adapts to your specific design needs. It is a comprehensive environment for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) design. The Quartus II software includes solutions for all phases of FPGA and CPLD design (Figure 1).

Is FPGA programming hard?

FPGA vendors have touted their wares as ideal replacements for DSPs, CPUs, and GPUs – even for all of them in a single device – but they are notoriously difficult for software engineers to program as they are not anything like a conventional processor.
