A basic introduction to FPGAs has been provided in Chap. 1 . Processors and FPGAs provide similar general processing capabilities but are differentiated by the way you use them for programming and the type of applications/use cases. Processors use software methods, while FPGAs were traditionally programmed through use of hardware design languages such as Verilog and VHDL. Processors are good when it comes to control fl ow as well as processing based on control, while FPGAs are preferred when unconditional processing has to be done on a larger data-set.
There are several benefi ts of combining the control capabilities of a processor with data-intensive compute of the FPGA. Solutions can be developed by having a multi-chip solution with standard discrete processors connecting to FPGAs over I/O pins. While these solutions work, they lead to increased latencies which may not be acceptable for several high-speed applications. Hence, an integrated processor with FPGA solution would be more apt for most applications. These lead to lower laten- cies when processor accesses rest of the design as well as leads to reduction in overall I/O count.
