Teardown Session 50: Greg Steiert, Technical Marketing Manager at Altera
Sponsored by Altera Innovation Lab
Accelerating innovative FPGA designs to shape the future.
In this Teardown Session, Crowd Supply’s Helen Leigh talks with Greg Steiert from Altera. Greg has figured out how to build a $5 drag-n-drop FPGA loader using a Raspberry Pi Pico and open-source software, and now he’s working on an upgraded version.
Learn the back story behind the “Build a $5 FPGA loader” workshop. Learn the inspiration for the project and follow the convoluted path through openFGPALoader, JTAG, SVF, STAPL, JBC, UF2 to get to a drag-n-drop FPGA loader.
A few lucky viewers will get a 10M08 Evaluation Kit and parts to assemble a programmer of their own.
