Writing from the association on tools, career, and the practice of FPGA engineering. Low volume, no marketing language.

How to run an AI agent on FPGA work

2026-07-28. The practical companion to the case study: seven setup steps, a diagram of the working loop, and an honest ladder of the FPGA complexity levels this approach has been demonstrated at — from flow tooling through full-chip timing closure and silicon debug. Read the how-to.

End-to-end FPGA development with Claude

2026-07-28. Case study: an AI coding agent took an FPGA project from empty repository to measured neural-network inference on a $129 Agilex 3 board in eight days — RTL, testbenches, toolchain runs, board bring-up, and silicon debug. The repository conventions that made it work. Read the post.

Systems engineering for FPGA design in the age of AI

2026-07-05. FPGA practice is the leading edge of AI-era systems engineering: coverage closure as statistical assurance, bit-exact equivalence against a frozen network, weights under configuration management, and monitor logic that carries the safety case. With a summary of the association’s course. Read the post.
