@seliaste .. are you mocking me or ?

FPGA is feild-programmable-gate-array its a chip with a bunch of logic gates, that can be programmed to replicate the functionality of virtually any other chip-

you create a model of it in a hardware description language (usually VHDL or Verilog,) then you can either simulate that model, on your computer .. or you can program it to an FPGA to behave like that model,

.. or .. something like that im still trying to understand it fully tbh

@Li oh sorry no Im not mocking you, it's just that I have a friend that someday sent me "need FPGA", never explained anything and she's absolutely not nerdy and more into alt stuff so I thought you might have known.... I know what that kind of FPGA is but thanks for the explanation <3

@seliaste well .. sometimes, "FPGA" is used to refer to hardware emulators of game consoles; which make use of them .. maybe thats what they meant ..
