Re: hi
I have researched about the topic in books and on web. I believe I have learnt more, but l still need some help to clarify the concept:
CPU is a processor that execute instructions defined by a particular ISA.
FPGA is a programmable processor, that can implement any digital functions/procedures.
Is it true to draw the conclusion that: FPGA can be programmed to be used as a CPU? Say, using a lookup table for decoding the OPCODE, and then perform operations?
I know it sounds like "cutting cheese with a saw", but I would like to know if it is logically possible? Since FPGA is "programmable processor", and the CPU is "a type of processor", hence the "a type of processor" should be able to be programmabled by the "programmable processor", right? Please explain this a little bit...
