This is true for any programmer that is using In-System Programming. There’s even a standardized 6-pin header that I design into most of my circuits so that you can easily reconnect your programmer to ...

FlashPro4 is hardware programmer supporting Actel's flash FPGAs: the IGLOO series and ProASIC3 series (including RT ProASIC3), SmartFusion and Actel Fusion families. It also supports FPGA embedded ...

The FlashPro4 programmer features low-cost ISP (in-system programmable) hardware. The kit, including a USB cable, a ribbon cable with a 10-pin JTAG connector, and a quick-start card, sells for $49.

It’s pretty awesome to have a hardware design hero jump at the chance to work on a Hackaday conference badge. I am of course talking about Voja Antonic. Designing a hardware badge isn’t quite as ...

There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a protoboard or a custom-designed printed circuit board. At the heart of the Arduino platform is an AVR microcontroller, in usual way you ...

There are currently around 600 programming languages to choose from, so picking the one that’s right for you can be pretty difficult. But if you’re looking for a language that’s incredibly popular, ...

I just finished reading the new book by David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu called Programming Massively Parallel Processors. The generic title notwithstanding, readers should not come to this book expecting ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...
