Digital Design Using Digilent FPGA Boards

Is FPGA a digital design?
Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) An integrated circuit designed to be programmed for specific use post manufacturing.
Digital design using FPGAs is a very important activity in industries because the cost of an FPGA design is much lower than that of an ASIC design.
Also, the time-to-market is much faster.
How do you implement a design on a FPGA board?
FPGA design checklist
1Make sure you have plenty of time to spare.
2) Find a decent computer.
3) If you can afford it, add a big display.
4) Decide which operating system to use.
5) Consider using a virtual machine (VM).
6) Select an FPGA vendor.
7) Pick out a suitable development board.
8) Select an embedded processor to use.
What are FPGA boards used for?
FPGAs are often used in commercial applications where there's a need for parallel computing and the requirements are dynamic, such as for telecoms and avionics.
A good example of FPGA use is high-speed search: Microsoft is using FPGAs in its data centers to run Bing search algorithms.
The FPGA can change to support new algorithms as they are created.
If needs change, the design can be repurposed to run simulation or modeling routines in an HPC application.
