Floating point arithmetic isn't a "basic element of logic" and likely will never become one in FPGA world: floating point multipliers take up a lot of area and require specific binary implementation details.

Except analog (save for very recently with devices such as Xilinx RFSoC).

And then you have to use Lattice's toolchain, which you couldn't pay me to use.

> The $140,000 device doesn’t become a $400 device in any volume; it might become a $90,000 device. VU13Ps are quoted $300/ea at tray quantities from Xilinx, yet are $89k on DigiKey with no price breaks.

Nobody has ever paid this price. These chips are <$3000 new.

They are "okay" at generating RTL, but are likely never going to be able to generate actual bitstreams without some classical implementation flow in there.

What does "directly generate FPGA bitstreams" mean? Placement and routing is an NP-Complete problem.

When Kubernetes was in its infancy, it was quite difficult to do the PKI and etcd setup required to run a cluster - and managed services didn't exist. Now, in every thread, people replay arguments from close to a decade ago that reflec

A $3 breakout PCB with an RGMII PHY and MagJack on it would solve this problem without resorting to analog communication.

Fascinating that they chose to use modulated board-to-board Ethernet instead of just running RGMII from MAC to MAC.

All MCUs with 802.15.4 radios (STM32WB, nRF5x, ESP32, Ambiq, etc.) can transmit and receive Zigbee frames. The real issue with Zigbee is full software support.
