Recently, I dove into the resource: "DSP for FPGA – Primer." If you have been looking for a structured way to move beyond blinking LEDs and into real signal processing, this is the roadmap. Xilinx University Program - DSP for FPGA Primer...
The primer starts by answering the "Why?" We are used to DSP on microcontrollers (serial processing) or GPUs (massive parallel, but high power). The primer does an excellent job illustrating why FPGAs are the sweet spot for: To help me tailor a more specific version
