  I greatly underestimated how much work this video would take, but it&apos;s finally done! Those animations take a lot of extra time.<br>If you want to see more of these videos, consider joining the Patreon (link in description). Videos like this take a lot of effort, so I can&apos;t upload every week like the YouTube algorithm and sponsors prefer.<br><br>I think the next video will be a bit less intense than this one, as well as come out sooner.<br><br>Thanks for watching!

  I&apos;m an FPGA Engineer, it&apos;s super cool seeing someone with good production quality covering this topic. There isn&apos;t very much content on YouTube about it, especially not up to this standard. I also loved how you introduced it, starting with the CLBs and hardware primitives

  -wonders why FPGAs arent more popular - proceeds to show us programming hell. haha love your channel man!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3nuepnbmC4&amp;t=1188">19:48</a> &quot;Vivado is the toolchain from AMD, the manufacturer of my FPGA, and it is... interesting to say the least - an absolute joy to work with.&quot; This man knows. I can feel the pain radiating from this sentence.

  Just by accident you made one of the best explanations what is FPGA, how works and how differs - all with practical examples of ups an downs - impressive work !!!

  I teach a digital hardware engineering course that includes using FPGAs and this is by far the best video I&apos;ve seen covering the basics of the topic. You really hit the important concepts and common misunderstandings. I&apos;m going to add this to the &quot;interesting supplemental information&quot; for the course.

  FPGAs look like heavily engineered black magic, it is absolutely bewildering but it also the coolest technology ever. The only things more absurd than that are the fab processes necessary to make the FPGAs themselves (and chips in general). :D<br>This is perhaps the most comprehensive video I&apos;ve ever seen about FPGAs. Thank you!

  I do agree with everyone else that this was some excelent explanation, learned a lot.<br>But can I just say that people will make Python do literally anything.

  I work with FPGAs daily... have seen a lot of videos trying to explain them. This is the first one I have seen that covers so much....<br><br>Going to have to save this and share with the ppl I help teach.
