Moving my old Android app project from java to android jetpack Compose (Kotlin) #JetpackCompose

@RIYAZ__002 Congratulations

Finally, it's official, Dr. RIYAZ Alhamdulillah for this blessing. 🤲🏻

@yacineMTB Lattice FPGAs are really cool. Apart from that we have an FPGA under development.

Is there a FPGA out there that doesn't force me to use dogshit closed source software?

@beaversteever I would do RF.

if i were a software engineer i'd pivot to hardware, but only talk about PCBs in order to saturate the PCB labor market even further and get cheap labor, while focusing on the cool parts of hardware

@pepijndevos Because FPGAs are perceived as easy and more feasible than Building Hardware.

My FPGA tweets always do so much better than my chip design tweets...

@NigoraFazliddin Do you have a good tourism guide

It smells like spring in Tajikistan’s #Hissar #Tajikistan:)

@beaversteever very volatile

Unemployed this, underemployed that you don't get it why would i want to work a shitty software job if i have $2B just in RAM sitting at home

@jahckd Not happening anytime soon

i won't lie, there is a point where fpga logic design becomes ˢᵒᶠᵗʷᵃʳᵉ ᵉⁿᵍᶦⁿᵉᵉʳᶦⁿᵍ, and i feel so dirty having crossed it.

@beaversteever SaaS Startups easily get Millions in investment ASIC Startups struggle with basic investment.

Dear VCs, if you invest $100B in a chip design/compute startup today, in 2 years you'll have physical chips that consumers use if you invest $100B in software today, in 2 years you'll be lining up to borrow compute from the startup you passed on. choose wisely

@zeroverhe So what libraries are you going to use ?

@beaversteever just tried to see how the "smart ai powered engineer" works

@Techyed_ like asking a baby to design a soc

we laid off our entire SWE team clawdbot closed all the software jira tickets overnight but couldn't fix a single FPGA bug Hardware is the future

Happy Australia Day 2026

@thejobchick My friend is working to Automate the entire HR process

HR is the only department that gets a free pass for being completely useless. They produce zero revenue, kill morale with endless policies, protect the company NOT you, and somehow still get invited to every meeting like they're essential. Remove 90% of HR tomorrow and the business would run smoother, faster, and happier. Change my mind. 🔥

@zeroverhe Cool. Lattice is easier to get started and has some amazing energy efficient options.

@zeroverhe Are you working with AMD FPGAs

@bubbleboi What tools are you using ?

I’m solving all the problems in SV will post when I’m done. My initial impression is the problems are not hard but working with ASCII characters as the input is. So far I’ve been parsing ASCII characters through an 8 bit AXI stream interface for simplicity but it’s terrible for throughput. Ideally I want to use a wider bus like 128 bit @ 500 MHz so I can process 16 characters at a time which is about 5 lines +/- 1 at a time. In order to do that I’d need to pipeline 2-3 stages. In the first pass i think you would just extract newline characters and chunk lines the second pass you compute rotations and interestingly this might use less DSP resources since you can aggregate left and right turns into a single summation. Not really aware of anyone doing text processing on FPGAs lol but it seems like it could be really useful so I will keep exploring and see where I end up!

@DanielSMatthews @nicbarkeragain Early IC design was very tedious work. Transistors were hand drawn. Computers were used for calculation but lacked advanced simulation capabilities.

@nicbarkeragain It was probably used to design both too?

Pretty wild to think that the C programming language (1972) is older than both the main architectures that it compiles to, x86 (1978) and ARM (1985)

@ATaylorFPGA Is CPLD enough for this.

Lets kick off the new year with a project looking at intelligent motor control. Many robotics projects use motors which contain intelligence e.g. processors to do the actual motor drive, report positions etc. This project demonstrates how you can use a AMD FPGA such as a Spartan 7 or Spartan UltraScale+ combined with a MicroBlaze V to implement a intelligent motor controller. hackster.io/adam-taylor/in…
