First, what is an ASIC? An ASIC is an Application Specific Integrated Circuit which basically means that it is an Integrated Circuit on a single piece of silicon and its use is limited to a particular application or function. An example would be an ASIC to process an audio CODEC or run a specific cryptographic… Continue reading Designing My Very Own ASIC with Tiny Tapeout
The SQRL Acorn is an M.2 form factor FPGA accelerator card originally designed for cryptocurrency mining acceleration. But due to poor performance and little support, it failed, causing a big scandal. Fortunately for us that know how to use FPGAs, we can re-purpose the hardware to do other kinds of acceleration, such as DSP processing.… Continue reading LiteX on the SQRL Acorn FPGA
