The Lattice iCE40 FPGAs are pretty nice, a good starting point for people getting into FPGAs, and I have to say, the open-source community-developed toolchain is by *far* the best way to do so.

Just about to sit down and watch this, I hope there is some chat about the open source toolchains for iCE40 and ECP5 Edit: no :( but still a pretty good chat

Nice interview, was good to get these really elaborate answers. Helped a lot to get a better sense of what usecases are, where the problems lie, etc.

Never played with FPGAs but I have been following the open source toolchain for lattice devices and some of the boards available and very tempted to have a go. Would love to hear more about the open source side.

OT: I'm curious on your view on the numbers of Tesla's DOJO specs. Would you consider doing a video on that, or are you going to write an article on it?

Amazing interview. Jim relay loves his work, cool to see how excited he gets about exploring new parts of the industry. That experience from working over such a diverse subject range must relay help bring new ideas to each subject. Iteration on top of Iteration is what moves the world forward and when you can see how other disciplines have solved problems it accelerates development! Big thanks for sharing.

I wish the interview could have talked about SymbiFlow an yosys (the open source EDA tool and bitstream synthesiser). Maybe I missed? Those are the real pusher behind new users (especially in academia and OSS community) adopting Lattice's chips. No longer devs have to work with crappy expensive vendor tools. Instead they could use yosys that is a lot more lightweight and more robust (in terms of integration with UNIX tools).

I'd love to believe it but this is wishful thinking. Think about it. There's a lattice FPGA in every iPhone, the open-source tools are a drop in the bucket.

In our university. A lot of project that uses lattice is because the people behind them uses yosys and hates Vivado. (Sample size ~15). Maybe that's just in academia?

Definitely. I think anyone that's ever built test instruments can extol the virtues of FPGAs lol. It's surprising it's taken this long for FPGAs to make it in to regular computing.

It helps that more mainstream devices like the OSSC which can do absurdly powerful things like upscale 240p retro games to 1200p are showing people what they're capable of.

Blackmagic Design puts FPGAs in their cameras and switchers. I can see them put them in other hardware products as well. What are the drawbacks compared to a custom processor or software?

My potato chips must be of a thin and light variety. I’m not sure if you’d compare to the 2nm or the 5nm, I’d say 5! On to FPGA and programming design Dr David Johansen, is a friend of mine. In fact, his wife and I dated, before she was his wife! Maybe you know of him or not, but interesting subject.

I'm pretty sure that's the idea behind them (them being the Lattice MachXO3 series.) Of course people find fault injection attacks now and then so it's not a guarantee. Just tougher than the rest of the board.
