While this architecture has</div><div style="background-color: transparent" class="">been a success, the Verilog FPGA-only firmware has made housekeeping</div><div

New "system on a</div><div style="background-color: transparent" class="">chip" FPGAs that combine traditional CPU-based systems with integrated FPGA</div><div style="background-color: transparent" class="">logic elements promise to give us the best of both worlds by providing the speed</div><div style="background-color: transparent" class="">of FPGAs with the abilities of an embedded system on a chip.
