Summary

In this chapter, we looked at what role FPGAs play in embedded development, how they have changed in importance over the past decades, and how they are now being used. We looked at a simple implementation of an oscilloscope that uses both an FPGA and an SBC-based component. Having read through this chapter, you should now know when to pick an FPGA for a new embedded project and understand how one can use and communicate with such a device.
