National Instruments made programming FPGAs accessible to engineers who are not EEs like me via LabVIEW. It was really cool to have loops running at tens of kHz

It's really too bad that it was locked to NI products and they've kind faded away.
I sometimes like to think of what could have been, if the ability to program FPGAs so easily would have become more popular.
- lnsru 1y agoIt’s my second decade in FPGA development and almost every year someone was promising easy development method. High level synthesis works with limitations, but often the single working solution is hand written VHDL. ChatGPT is really bad at VHDL. Maybe Verilog works better, didn’t try that yet.
- LarsKrimi 1y agoI can confirm that ChatGPT is laughably bad at Verilog
