FPGA prototyping:
1) a bit of discrete HW
2) an inexpensive FPGA development board
3) a cheap micro-controller running micro-python
4) a computer running python
5) a two channel oscilloscope
You may ask: why an FPGA ?
Simply put : no compromises on real time accuracy !
In a nutshell:
processors do "time sharing", FPGA do "silicon sharing". While GPU are smack in the middle !
