Is FPGA the Best Engineering Career? With Adam Taylor

Engineering & simulationagentic coding assistants

AI generates RTL code and test benches for FPGAs, allowing engineers to simulate and verify designs iteratively without manual coding.

“Now actually, there's a real, there's a real step change and, you know, it's, it's possible to use AI to to generate RTL for you. And if you're using the agentic stuff, you know, and you've got the simulators on your thing, you can say, well, write me the, here's what I want you to write, mate. I want to write me a test bench that proves that it works.”

Engineering & simulationAMD Vavado

The tool uses built-in AI to assist with creating FPGA designs, including setting timing constraints and generating design elements.

“AMD are going to be there with their new version of Vavado. Uh, which has got AI built into it and he's going to show you how you can use AI to help you create FPJ designs and and leverage FPJ designs. And, you know, do things like fixed timing, timing constraints and timing issues or even create, create sort of like designs for you.”
