What is an FPGA Board?

This article provides a comprehensive introduction to FPGA development boards, covering their basic concepts, classifications, and applications. FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are reprogrammable integrated circuits that offer parallel processing capabilities and hardware-level customization advantages. The article categorizes FPGA development boards into three tiers: entry-level (such as Basys 3), mid-range (such as Arty A7), and high-end (such as ZCU106), with prices ranging from tens of dollars to thousands of dollars. When selecting a development board, factors to consider include project goals, budget, logic resource requirements, interface types, and software compatibility. FPGAs are widely used in education and training, IoT, AI acceleration, digital signal processing, telecommunications, and aerospace applications. Future trends include better AI support, edge computing integration, popularization of high-level synthesis tools, and cloud-based FPGA services.
