We've had FPGA with CPU for 5 years or so on Xilinx Zynq. :)

- jeff_marshall 9y agoXilinx has being doing CPU+FPGA for longer than that. I did some C runtime enhancements for the PPC 440 included in the FX70 for a product made by a former employer (shadow stacks for better CFI, more locked down MMU use, etc).
- kyzyl 9y agoAmusingly, Xilinx makes dev tools that are so unbelievably bad that it's almost impossible to do any of the best practices for development that you would hope for in safety critical systems. No source control, code review, reproducible builds, integration testing, centralized code review, etc. Presumably you can sort of brute force it if you have defense level budgets, but it's a seriously bad situation.
- planteen 9y agoYeah last time I used Vivado a couple years ago, version control on the project was a nightmare. Reproducible builds seem to be a problem with stock FPGA synthesis tools in general.
