Views: 139
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and ARM processor are two different types of hardware platforms.

FPGA

FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array
FPGA is a reconfigurable hardware device that allows users to design custom digital circuits. It consists of a series of programmable logic blocks connected by a reconfigurable interconnect network. FPGAs are very flexible and can be programmed to perform almost any digital function.

ARM Processor
ARM processors are general-purpose processing units based on the ARM architecture, used in embedded systems, smartphones, IoT devices, and even some servers.

Key Differences Between FPGA and ARM Processors

Aspect FPGA ARM Processor
Architecture Reconfigurable hardware blocks Fixed instruction set architecture
Programming Hardware Description Languages (HDL) High-level programming languages
Processing Parallel processing Sequential processing
Flexibility Hardware can be reprogrammed Functionality depends on software
Performance High for specific tasks (customized) General-purpose performance
Power Consumption Higher power usage Optimized for low power
Cost Expensive for production Cost-effective for mass production
Applications Specialized tasks (e.g., signal processing) General-purpose tasks (e.g., running OS)


Conclusion
FPGA and ARM processors are completely different technologies, each suitable for specific applications.
