This JTAG programmer board is based on an FTDI chip and supports Lattice, AMD/Xilinx and Altera/Intel FPGAs. It allows those devices to be programmed and debugged over USB through their regular ...

FTDI configuration The FTDI chip needs to be configured correctly, otherwise the FPGA can't be programmed. The FTDI configuration is held in the small EEPROM chip (U4). It is programmed via USB using ...

As part of the software download for the book “Programming the Finite State Machine” there is a program to allow an FTDI lead TTL-232R-5V-WE to be used to program the 12F1822 and 16F1823 PICs. This ...

This article offers an updated version of the PIC programmer described in the Elektor book “Programming the Finite State Machine”. This version has a more stable rate of data transfer and has a more ...

ESP8266 development boards like the Wemos D1 Mini and NodeMCU are an excellent way to get a one-off project up and rolling quickly, but their size and relative complexity mean they aren’t necessarily ...
