What are the use cases for the FPGA realistically? Then only piece of easily downloaded and installed code is a SHA based crytocoin miner.

- cbsmith 13y agoActually pretty handy for doing optimized NIC/protocol processing. Particularly handy for wireless stuff IIRC. It's about as close as you can get to a software defined CPU, so the options are kind of limitless.
- storborg 13y agoJust to toss out a few ideas: software defined radio, high-throughput DSP (like audio processing or machine vision), MITMing of fast protocols, packet inspection, CPU emulation.
- zmanian 13y agoI found http://opencores.org/projects http://opencores.org/projects nothing is a killer app right now. At work I use an FPGA as async real time controller. Not sure what utility that would have if not connected to specialized hardware.
- zurn 13y agoLearning & prototyping hardware (ASIC) design. Applications that like low latency I/O. You can respond in microseconds with real time guarantees, eg for radio link layer protocols.
