Ask HN: Best resources for learning FPGA programming in 2019?

13 points by mfatica 7y ago ↗ HN

I'm an experienced software engineer that's done mostly backend development in C# and web development using PHP and various javascript stacks. I'm familiar with c/c++, assembly language and embedded systems (through some CS courses and more recently playing Shenzen I/O).

My long-term aim is to utilize FPGA acceleration in machine learning contexts. What would be my best resources to start learning?

I can recommend Fomu: https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/fomu

Looks great, but in addition to hardware I still need to learn what to do with it. Also it doesn't ship until June 30th :/

Check the prospectus for your local college/university for weekend or night classes?

Unfortunately I don't really have the expenses to pay for classes
