Building a Stand-alone JTAG FPGA Flasher

By Nulltek

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), are powerful programmable logic devices that are commonly used in high-performance / high-complexity low-volume electronic designs. FPGAs differ from many other programmable electronic devices, such as micro-controllers, as the software deployed to them doesn’t “execute”. This software actually configures the structure of the FPGA hardware, such that it can perform…

Adaptive Alogrithms – The Double Edged Sword in Manufacturing

By Nulltek

With the intense focus the world currently has on data, there has been a push towards collating this useful information to improve the runtime efficiency of historically slow processes. The flow on effect of this trend is companies pushing towards optimisation and efficiency in all facets of algorithmic programming.
