mal3abyNew blog post! I've got the Logi-Pi FPGA board working with the Raspberry Pi 5. https://blog.smears.org/post/logipi-lives
sylefebAt FCCM 2026 I saw a keynote by Onur Mutlu on abusing DRAM chip timings to have them perform vector (row) copies and even or/and/nand computations on entire rows, 'for free' (happens physically through capacitors charge). And this is on current, off-the-shelves DDR3/DDR4 memory!
Well, I've got a bunch of great FPGA boards featuring good old SDRAM chips and ...
It turns out RowClone is possible on older SDRAM chips!
marocddotIn my alternate (futuristic) home automation world I would be running #forth on an #fpga (or a #greenarrays GA144) to control RS-485 hardwired (off the shelf) Modbus sensors and actuators (or perhaps even allowing for some BACnet stuff). All code by me or easily understood open source with no hidden dependencies or abstractions.
Yeah, old and antiquated. But proven, durable and works.
FZ Jülich - ICAUsing FPGAs, we aim to measure, process, transport, and act on this data faster than seismic disturbances in the ground – pushing the limits of both the hardware as well as what embedded neuromorphic computing can do.

Playing Out of Control GamingThe SuperStation One is a pure FPGA rebuild of the original PlayStation. Intel Cyclone V chip, no software emulation layer, and dual PS1 SNAC ports for original controllers and memory cards, plug a DualShock straight in.
If you care about timing and input latency on real hardware, this one belongs on your radar.

🇺🇦 haxadecimal 🚫👑Oooh! I just learned that some of the AMD (Xilinx) Spartan Ultrascale+ FPGAs have a moderately large number of "HD" (high density) I/O pins. More than 300 in the biggest parts, which don't yet appear to be out.
"HD" don't cover as many obscure I/O standards as the old "HR" (high range 1.2V to 3.3V) I/Os, but at least they do cover that voltage range.
For a while, it was looking like AMD/Xilinx were moving away from providing 3.3V capable I/O pins.

NewClassicGamingThe ModRetro M64 has become one of the most interesting modern N64 hardware topics.
It is not only about playing old cartridges on a modern TV. The bigger discussion is:
- original cartridge support
- FPGA / hardware-level recreation
- HDMI and scaling
- controller feel
- firmware maturity
- homebrew potential
- M64 vs Analogue 3D
