I'm sure a lot of knowledge of hardware design helps, but it's not necessary. I've toyed around with VHDL on a DE0-Nano board, and while I have a lot of C experience I have none with HW design.
I can still program enough to do simple things, e.g. sample an analog temperature sensor, drive a simple led display that display current temperature, average of last hour etc.
- viccuad 12y agoI would argue that for the job you are aiming for, you could do it more than fine with a microncontroller like a 3 bucks ATMEGA or Arduino. You would program it in C, and you don't need a 60 bucks FPGA + a 200 bucks for the FPGA controller. If you are learning, meddling with FPGAs your way is awesome. But nobody is going to use that approach for serious work on production.
