What this episode covers

Professor André van Schaik of Western Sydney University, joined by Giulia D’Angelo of the Italian Institute of Technology and Ralph Etienne-Cummings of Johns Hopkins University, discusses the evolution of neuromorphic engineering and a new FPGA-based simulator named Deep South. Van Schaik details his early work on a Logitech motion detector chip from 1994 and his recent AstroSight project using event-based cameras for satellite tracking. The group debates the trade-offs between FPGA-based simulation flexibility and dedicated hardware efficiency, highlighting the challenge of creating user-friendly software interfaces for large-scale spiking neural network research.

    029 - Old Timey Name Droppin'

    Philip Freidin, a veteran engineer and consultant with experience at AMD and Xilinx, discusses the evolution of the semiconductor industry, the challenges of reverse engineering FPGAs, and his current projects. He explains why reverse engineering an FPGA bitstream is often futile compared to functional analysis, detailing the complexity of VLIW architectures and encryption. Freidin also shares his experience creating the open-source OshChip and his new educational initiative, DSP-for-KIDS.

    Ep028: Brain Skepticism Turned Up to 11, Web Browsing in '69, Verilog For 7400 Logic

    Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams discuss the technical realities and hype surrounding Neuralink's brain-computer interface, analyzing the gap between their surgical robot demo and actual neuroscience. They also cover the 40th anniversary of the Sony Walkman, arguing that its success was driven by the design of its headphones rather than the player itself. The episode highlights several hardware hacks, including synthesizing 7400-series logic from Verilog, a subtractive 3D printing process using MDF, and a rotary phone hack that controls web browsers.

    Open FPGA Toolchains and Machine Learning with Brian Faith of QuickLogic

    Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic, explains how the company shifted from proprietary tools to adopting SymbiFlow as its official open-source FPGA toolchain, a decision driven by persistent engagement with Google’s Tim Ansell. He details the integration of the SensiML platform to enable low-power machine learning on devices like the EOS S3, allowing software engineers to build AI models without deep hardware expertise. Faith discusses the strategic move to license embedded FPGA IP and participate in open hardware initiatives like the Open Hardware Group and Chips Alliance to support mass customization and heterogeneous computing at the edge.

    Efinix FPGAs with Sammy Cheung

    Sammy Cheung, CEO and co-founder of Efinix, explains how the company’s disruptive SLR (Switchable Logic and Routing) FPGA architecture enables small, low-power devices like the Trion and Titanium to compete with traditional FPGAs in edge computing and computer vision applications. Cheung details the company’s history, from its founding in 2012 and initial pivot after Intel’s acquisition of Altera, to its current scaling phase where it sells millions of units and partners with sensor and microcontroller companies for System-in-Package (SiP) solutions. The discussion covers the technical advantages of the Titanium chip, including its 16nm process, embedded RISC-V soft cores, and specialized DSP blocks for AI, as well as the strategic challenges of growing from a scrappy startup into a larger organization while maintaining its culture.
