FPGA-Based Arduino Clones on Steroids
by Max Maxfield Every now and then, someone comes up with an idea that makes me think, “Wow, that’s a great concept, why didn’t I think of that?” This was the case a couple of years ago when I was introduced to Jason Pecor from Alorium Technology. In turn, Jason introduced me to their XLR8 (“Accelerate”), which is a drop-in replacement for an Arduino with an interesting twist. As we see below, the XLR8 has the same physical footprint as a regular Arduino Uno. The difference is that, as opposed to using a regular 8-bit ATmega328P microcontroller from Microchip T...
